Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Alarming Letter And A Boob Bug

A shocking letter arrived in the mail. AARP wants me to join. ME?! I'm not old enough to join some old folks organization. How dare they send me such a letter. It turns out, though, that I am old enough. It's open to fifty year olds. How depressing.

Last night, I felt an itchy bump on my boob. It looked like a bug had bitten me. This morning I woke up with what looked like a third nipple. Just what I need. There will be no photos of this. It's just too embarrassing. It's going to be awhile before I can wear tank tops again.

Thanks, Scott. I'm glad that you could visit. I enjoyed your posts on the Phillipines. It gave me new insight into my coworkers.

I remember when I got my letter from AARP when I turned 50. Quite the shock! I felt the same way you do, still do seven years later as a matter of fact :)

Michelle, I hope that your bug bite is almost gone. Mine keeps growing. It's now 3 inches in diamenter.

Irene, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who resents getting old people stuff while still in our prime.

Son't let it worry you. I started getting AARP letters when I was 36. They're just confused, is all. Have you been to an AARP office lately? :) Confused people work there.

In your case they were confused. In my case, I really am old enough to join.

I have been getting stuff from AARP for a few years. It used to irritate me but now I look forward to it because it means I wil be RETIRED! I am so sick of working all these hours!

It's not right to have to work so many hours. Who decided that 40 hours was a normal work week? I bet it was some man who had a wife to take care of the home front. We have to do it all.
