...i was told by a nice lady in the restaurant tonight that i need a fashion make-over.
can you imagine?
i had my biopsy today - only one section was taken because he felt the other spot was fine for now. i have a bandage on and stitches and depending on how i bend/sit, it pulls.
hub was at class and max at rehearsal so what were the girls to do? go to the local tavern for dinner, of course. that and the glass of wine i had in mind i felt may be more effective than the pain-killers i had on hand...
believe it or not, there are times this introvert is more of an extrovert and a mother/son combo sat next to me. we got to talking and they both had interesting careers - his, more environmental and earthy; hers, manager of national-name clothing store at one of the casinos. she told me as we hugged good-bye (i tend to make fast friends...) that i would be the perfect candidate for a make-over.
::blink, blink::
"what are you talking about?"
(i had on a jean skirt, a tee-shirt with an old-fashioned type-writer and book on the front and my vans sneakers. i have no idea what, exactly, she meant by that.)
"but, but.........i have no money," i also stuttered, lamely.
"that's okay - i am the manager...i'll take good care of you."
again, i blinked, dumb-founded.
should i be happy or a bit puzzled? i feel comfortable. i don't dress for anyone but myself and i was dressed modestly, thank you very much.
(all in all, however, they were actually very cool to sit next to and we had a great time :)
aside from my biopsy that gives me a little pain this evening, i am looking forward to tomorrow's first meet with my Spiritual Director and am prayerful that all of the trials i have been going through up until now will abate somewhat, or if not, that she may give me further suggestions as to different ways of coping --> prayer has helped; emails have been amazing, online support tremendous, the caring and concern of friends, overwhelming. i am truly blessed.
even if i don't dress the part ;)
