Concessions to the big-C

Although I am still in a large amount of denial over this whole thing--that'll end some time on Monday night--I am beginning to make some concessions to the big "C". Like, I am spending $5.69 a gallon for organic milk for my kids. I have all but eliminated milk-to-drink from my diet, except for Starbucks frappucino milk. I have cut back on cheese, a lot, but cheese is one of my reasons for living. All this dairy avoidance due to the estrogen-like hormones being jammed into dairy cows to keep their production at insane-maximum levels. There's just no way that some of that isn't getting through to the milk. China/Japan have like 1/10 of our breast cancer rates...some of that is probably low diagnosis, but they don't eat dairy over there, period. They think we are crazy for drinking milk meant for baby animals that need to gain 2+ lbs. per day. Sooo, what can it hurt me? (Please don't forget that most hormonally-soaked dairy cows end their over-milked lives as fast food burger, and school lunch burger--avoid at all costs.)

Also, I am not using deodorant very regularly. Some of you may have noticed this...hopefully not. There's talk about aluminums in deodorant. Hmmm, deodorant goes near the breast, a lot. What harm can this do?? Handyman smells way worse than me most of the time and I've been hanging out close to him for almost 2 decades. You people will just have to toughen up, I guess.

I am not haranguing my kids about schoolwork this week. They'll all fail this semester and have to start over, I guess. Whatever, not worth it this week.

I have been enjoying every forkful of manure I have hefted this week, knowing that I won't be doing it for awhile. Honestly. I like hefting poop. It's a spiritual thing for me. I am appreciative of lifting, and pulling, and pushing and dragging. I will not overlook these important actions again.

Well, I'm off to lather, lather, lather in all the important places. This will be the best I've smelled since high school!

My friend Needa, will be posting for you all on Monday, Tuesday and until I return. Here's a link to her blog, but don't look there until Monday pm.
