2011Oh Dreary Day
Quite a comedown from my Las Vegas trip, I am back to the drudgery of daily life…
Today is as grey and dull as can be, spitting rain and very cool – quite a come-down from the sunny, warm southwest U.S.
Also had to deal with the tedium of getting out of the house as a girl again. There is a subtle emotional price you pay for having to subjugate your authenticity to reality.
Ho, hum…
Anyways, just had a quick look around and made a dash for the car.
Good thing I’m quick too. My bottom had barely touched down on the seat of my car when my neighbor came out of her door. GF would have been apoplectic!
Sure it was risky… though I do believe that people are generally too busy leading their own lives to notice too much else, except by chance.
But, I had little choice if I was to make my meeting.
And, I do confess, this hiding is getting a bit tired.
Oh well, we all do what we must.

Janie, I know nothing about your personal day-to-day life. It’s not my business, but I don’t see how you are able to “hide” anything. You are such a girl. Surely this neighbor and others have some idea. Somehow I doubt it would be a shock to them. You’re a lovely lady….. go for it!

Hiya! Just stopped by this blog again, and my re-read showed me something I missed before, something I have to say I disagree with….
“There is a subtle emotional price you pay for having to subjugate your authenticity to reality.”
For many girls, there is nothing subtle at all about that emotional price.
I know……

Agreed. But I was just talking about having to hide as I ran to the car. I probably should have added “even for those few seconds” to the sentence you quoted.
