HOLY CRAP 9 YEARS HAS GONE BY!
I'm gonna do this again. Starting today. Well, later today. I'm at work now and I better keep my bloglife separate from my worklife. Don't worry, I'll fill you in on EVERYTHING!

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY FACE!
I'm looking over some email, back and forth to facebook, listening to the sounds of carnage (MW3 came out this week) in the background on such nice systems that no matter where I go in the house there is machine-gun fire...and I'm getting a little headache, if you must know the truth.
I don't mind the constant gaming, it's a new game and they will need sunlight and fresh air eventually, at which time one boy or other will declare "let's go OUTSIDE for a while you guys, my butt's STILL asleep from yesterday!" and they will all go outside. Life will return to normal.
So what's given me a headache is a mystery, but it seems to be starting around the area of my left temple...so I lift two fingers to gently massage the area around my eye on that side. As I brush the skin at the corner of my left eye, I notice a strange texture -- vaguely lumpy...sort of loose-ish...
In a panic brought on by memories of grandma, grandpa, mom, and dad having had all sorts of "potential skin cancer" sliced off of their faces or arms at one point or other while I was growing up, I reached up with both hands and gingerly felt all over my face & throat area for anomalies. Panic turned to blind fear as I realized that this same strange texture is also on the outer corner of my right eye, and it's actually starting to creep down the front of my neck! I get up and rush to the bathroom, expecting the lady looking back at me to be halfway in the middle of turning into a werewolf or something...it's just plain ol' me. And the horribly deformed skin patches that I felt around my eyes and on my neck...are WRINKLES. The "vaguely lumpy" feeling is the way a wrinkle feels if you brush your finger over it cross-wise. And the "loose-ish" feeling IS loose.
I just thought I would share this in order to save somebody else having to get up and run all the way to their bathroom mirror in a panic. Not a damned thing you can do about it -- might as well just relax here and keep surfin.'
