Taking It Easy

By Joe

I’m taking a vacation day, ostensibly to recover from my colonoscopy, but I’m feeling fine. I slept much of the day after I got home yesterday. If you’re wondering, the colonoscopy went great. Nothing was found, and I don’t have to have another one for ten years.

I do have a few things to do today besides taking it easy. I plan to do some laundry this morning, and go to the grocery store this afternoon. I also have an appointment at a local art gallery about possibly teaching a class for them. A little extra money never hurt anyone, and it’s a subject I look forward to teaching.

One last thing, since I haven’t posted an Isabella pic this week (and I think I forgot to last week), here you go:

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    I’m glad your colonoscopy went well…unfortunately my last one didn’t go so well so now I have to repeat them every three years!

      I’m sorry that yours didn’t go so well. I hope they are better from here on.

        Thank you…at 72 I’ve already outlived so many of my friends…aging is not great but I cannot forget all the men who died from AIDS and I know they would wish they could join me in a longer life! I struggled with survivor’s guilt for years and was really never told that because I’m a top I had a slight chance of infection compared to my bottom lovers….

        anyway….peace!
