There. I’m all set to remember my Pap Smear test this Wednesday at the clinic. Now, if only my cell phone calendar would let me stick happy smiley face stickers and balloons all over the date. That would make the event so much more special, and so much more fun! I love Pap Smears! NOT!!!!

So, anyway, my cell phone calendar is all set to remind me of my Pap Smear. Let’s see. What else is it set to remind me of? Hmm…

Well, today was my dermatologist appointment. At 7:15 a.m., my cell phone calendar ding-donged reminding me to be at Mankato by 10:10. It’s 12:45 now and I’m back home, all bandaged up in the face, looking like an accident victim.

What happened to me? No, no, not a facelift or derm-abrasion. For god’s sake, don’t get that rumor started. No, I simply had two little and one giant, deep-set moles removed.

The move by my left eyebrow, the deep-set one, well, it’s removal might cause a black eye in the next day or two. So, just in case you see me in the next day or two, I had a mole removed. Steve did not hit me. He’s not that kind of guy! For god’s sake, don’t get that rumor started either!

Let’s see. Also today, 4 p.m. work at VFW Chili Supper. Oh great, I get to be in public, all bandaged in the face, looking like an accident victim. Just great. Thank god I’m working take-out and not the main line. Too many questions. Too many strange looks. Too many chances for rumors to start.

Fun! On Thursday there’s a Let’s Go Fishing thing, I think. That “add” to the calendar is incomplete. No time, no place. Better remind myself to call someone. Let’s see…menu, 9, 3, 4, arrow, arrow, arrow…

Friday is some fitness thing at the gym. Am I walking? I’m sure not running. Am I lifting weights? Heck, I don’t know. Oh, boy, I’d better clarify that today. Menu, 9, 3, 4, arrow, arrow…

Next Monday. “Stitches.” Oh, I’m having my stitches removed from my face next Monday, from the giant, deep-set mole removal site. Gee, sure hope my black eye has cleared up by then, if I get one, from the removal, remember, not from Steve.

Ooh, ooh! Wednesday, Nov. 2! That’s my sister, Sharon’s, 50th birthday but it’s also therapeutic massage day with Suzanne Kral. Yay! Love, love, love massage day! Hooray!

Huh, there’s not much going on past Nov. 2, not according to my cell phone calendar. Dentist on Nov. 14. Then nothing until my teacher’s license exam thing on Dec. 14. Unless…

I wonder if there is stuff going on that I forgot to put on my cell phone calendar? Now, that wouldn’t be good. If there is stuff going on, how will I remember? I’d better make a reminder to look for stuff I forgot.
