Sat. night phlome and I went to S4 for the drag show and some decent dance music. I must admit I looked fabulous! I have this great new halter top style brown polka dot dress. And with the dress I have these absolutley perfect pair of 3 inch high heeled brown shoes. I know, I need pics. Anyway, all the drag queens and gay boys loved it. As well as my hair in two little buns on top of my head. I know, it sounds all wrong with the dress, but for some reason it worked.
As a result of the evening of fabulousness, I have blisters on my toes and heels, and suffered through cramps well into the late morning on Sunday, despite soaking in epsom salts, ice water, and foot massages from Phlome. The ice water felt the best, since it numbed my feet. But I think it may have been the cause of the ongoing cramps in my feet and toes.
We got back from Alaska Saturday afternoon. But that’s not what is on my mind right now.
Wednesday August 1st, my great-uncle passed away due to complications from the chemo-therapy treatment he was given for his lung cancer. Below is the obituary I helped my great-aunt Katie write along with the help of my aunt Sonie, great-uncle Donnie (aka Alvin D) and cousins Missy and Mindy. Below you will see the listings of his relatives. Harlo Gaston is my grandfather. He took Clayton’s death very hard. I went up to OK to spend the day with my family last Thursday before we left for the cruise. I’ll go up again over labor day weekend. All of Clayton’s surviving brothers and sisters will be going to my grandfather’s house to spend the weekend.
