A cosmopolitan's short narratives.

“Welcome to the kingdom of my imagination. Welcome to the world of the unpredictable reality. I live in Florida (sometimes in Sweden). My country of birth doesn’t exist anymore (SSSR). I am writing in English and Russian about my day-to-day life and the experience of living in different countries, observation of people’s life, traveling and fashion. Welcome,” jelena717@gmail.com.

Today is the Martin Luther King day. I have day off.
I had a pleasant lunch with my husband's friends and their new married doughtier and son in law in their cozy little apartment on the Venice Isle.
The young couple was very happy  since she was expecting a child. I was looking at her belly, her shiny eyes, happy smile and was trying to remember this special feeling of happiness when I was pregnant.
Unfortunately, the only happy memory that kept coming back was  the memory of relieve and happiness  after hours of tortures right away after my son delivery. I was happy see my creation and was happy that the terrible pain was over. But no memories of the pregnancy happiness.
That was so long time ago!!
The make the best use of my day off I went to Body Care center to check out available "my happiness" options, in other words to prevent aging. As I have mentioned before I have never done Botox, but had this option open. That said, today I did, the first time in my life, ArteFill, which suppose to last for five years. It is the first non-resorbable filler approved by FDA. It will last for years while other injectables will last only 6-12 months. The doctor used three tubes, one under eyers and two to treat the nasolabial folds that form around of moths. I look like a hell right now, since the face is swollen and I got a bruises under left eye. It would be no pretty picture tomorrow at work, but I do not care.
