Miko Was Here

The second towel hanging on the bathroom door
The elevated toilet seat
The red toothbrush resting beside my blue one
The faint smell of him still on the sheets, waiting for me
I love all the evidence that Miko was here!

Day Off

I used to cry all the time, for the smallest little things. I'm not a sad person, just maybe a little sensitive and tend to bottle in a lot of stress so it tends to come out funny. These past couple of months, I've been managing my stress a little better; in fact, just the other day I made the remark that it's been a while since I cried... until today. I had a Dr's appointment at 9:30, and being punctual as usual, got signed in at 9:20. At 10:30 I found it strange that my name hadn't been called... 10:45 rolled around and I asked the reception if there was some kind of mixup. She asked for my name, saw that I was registered and asked me to take a seat. 12:15 I asked her again and she told me my Dr had left for the day!!! Instead of getting mad I started to cry and shake and everybody felt terrible that I was somehow forgotten, my chart was misplaced, my name was erased.

Having missed my noon time spin class, and not being able to do my laundry at my parents' because of a snow storm, I was left home alone for the rest of the day with really nothing to do, so I decided to tackle #13 Clean out my closet(s). With Moka's help, I managed to fill 2 boxes, 2 garbage bags and 3 big paper bags with some of my clothes and shoes and girly things to donate. I still have more to do, but for now, I'm happy today didn't feel like a complete waste.

The Ultimate Bikini Wax

17. Get a brazilian

Today I got the ultimate bikini wax: A Brazilian.  First of all, just making the appointment was a nerve-wracking experience for me, so you can imagine how I felt when the aesthetician asked me to remove my skirt! It was only after I told her it was my first time, that I suddenly felt at ease. I never felt awkward or silly as she started the job, gently talking me through the different stages, making sure to compliment my "area" in a way that only an aesthetician can. After going through almost all the vowels ooooooo eeeeeee aaaaaaaa, less than 20 minutes later, I was a new woman! The pain (which isn't thaaaat bad) is worth the result. My only regret is that I didn't do this before! I'm a convert for life.
