Megan of All I Need Is Everything put up an interesting neme based on the Seven Dwarfs as in Snow White and the...
Because I'm such a lazy cow, and can't come up with anything as remotely interesting, I thought I'd give this a go...
A gentle word of warning...All sarcasm is intended...
DOC:
This has until recently been plural for me. Now, I'm down to the one keeper of the lot. She listens well and unlike her colleagues, tends not to infuriate. I've changed docs like most people change underwear since the majority of them knew less about my life and health than they should.
One such highly credentialed pillock delivered shocking news to my mother forty five years ago when he said that I was unteachable, could not learn and should be institutionalised. As if this was infuriating enough for her, he then pronounced her deluded for believing otherwise. She often got things wrong, but not this, and I thank her departed spirit for this more often as I get older.
GRUMPY:
Her Royal Stroppiness on days I don't get sufficient rest, I am usually quiet unless I know someone well. People sometimes equate my reserve with stand offishness. I let them think what they will and try to live life on my own terms.
HAPPY:
I get really happy over little things these days, like not having to haul the bin bag out to the community dumpster or deal with the recycling since my neighbor handles that. I'm relieved to have the groceries delivered and delighted that my pets get in-home attention from their favourite veterinary technician. Like Megan, I also rejoice in having a washer and dryer in the flat. Now, if only I could get back over the pond for a visit, that would make me supremely happy...
SLEEPY:
The worst thing about being a midlife woman...I feel chronically in need of naps, and I hate being sleepy.
BASHFUL:
NOT...
I've never suffered from bashfulness...My mother taught me to set goals and meet them, a trait that belies being shy. I can talk to anyone and I carefully observe those around me.
SNEEZY:
A condition that developes when I get a nose full of fur as one of my feline friends sticks a paw or two on my nose, usually in an attempt to wake their lazy human for breakfast...an event that is far less appreciated at 4:30 AM than at 6 or thereafter.
DOPEY:
Only in a past life...No dope of any kind for me...

I like this one. Might post it next week. Although the sneezy bit gets me. No allergies, rarely get a cold . .fancy your mother being told you're 'unteachable' such a thing!
Interesting. I've also got disillusioned with medics as I I've got older. They're either unable to diagnose my problems (e.g. knee twinges), or they don't listen properly to what I'm telling them, or they prescribe drugs instead of looking for a non-drug alternative. They're pretty useless in fact.
Glad you proved that ignorant doctor totally wrong.
Can NOT take a nap or go back to bed; this midlife woman is in gear! I remember sleeping until 9 AND taking a snooze w/tiny L. No longer. this prompt brings up a lot, doesn't it? thanks e and Megan!
haha. loving this meme...my cat does the same thing...she is lucky to still be living...
Bravo to your mom and cheers to you for playing along!
I have a neighbor that takes out the trash for me. He's sitting right here, putting it off because, "aw, geez, mom, I've got to get this homework done." Ha! The homework excuse!
Weirdest meme ever. Cute though!
Oh this was a very good meme. I might follow Baino and also do it.
Now I will make you a promise. If you manage to get over the pond I will either go to Paris and meet you or meet you in London.
As for brilliant mums who understand their children far better than hopeless teachers - every child should have one.
Cool meme. I might do this one if I can remember it.
Just dropping by to introduce myself. Looking forward to following your blog. Have a good one!

Just been looking at your menu choice on my recent meme. Do I take it that you are a vegan? I just wondered; I've never actually tried tofu. Living in the French countryside one can't really get the range of 'alternative' type food very easily, more's the pity.
I hope life is not too bad for you atm.
Cute. I like the Seven Dwarf bit. You could do all kinds of program things with it! Have a great weekend!!

e,
That is the most 'Interesting' style of meme I have ever read. Thank you for sharing.
I've been disillusioned with doctors for a long while, hence the reason I had not gone to the doctors recently.
Enjoy your weekend.
this was A clever meme from her, wasn;t it? I love these things. Love to learn more about my bloggie friends. I'm quite sure you aren't as sorrowful as you make yourself out to be! LOL
BTW, I so rarely go to docs as it is. not impressed there.
