( A snapshot of my day )

Getting old sucks...

Some days I feel like I'm 18 years old, and then I look in the mirror and I see wrinkles. Eye wrinkles, nasal-labial folds like crazy. M denies that they exist or says they're all smile lines. But I don't like it. I went on a search for a good wrinkle cream at a reasonable price... like under ten bucks, because I am cheap. These aren't easy to find - most of the ones from major skin care manufacturers run in the range of $20 at Target. But then, wandering the organic section at Wegman's - dermae Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate Wrinkle Treatment Crème, on sale for $9. I figured what the heck... it's not much money. That was two weeks ago.  I've been using the stuff once a day - sometimes twice - and I think I'm actually seeing a difference.  Not so much in the eyes, but around the mouth.  Possibly this is because those are the wrinkles that bother me the most, or possibly because it's making a bigger difference there - I don't know.  But I'm pretty happy with it.

But I'm still getting old.  My knees tell me so every day.
