Something New

Yesterday, I did three new things! And (I think) they were all good, altho not equally so. Here they are:

1. I went to a jazz club! It was so much fun! The singer was so fabulous, she was so into music, interacting with the songs, dancing, twirling like a little girl, she was great! Her dreadlocks were great, too. ;-) The place was really fun, until we realized that there was a two order minimum per person. Poop on them! Anyway, still lots of fun, lots of giggling, lots of good times, but I missed you . . .

2.I mopped the kitchem floor witha 'real mop' and a real bucket of water w/ Pine-sol, just like the lady on TV! No more Swiffer for me (that's the only way I've ever mopped the floor)! And actually, it wasn't that bad. I scrubbed, and mopped, and lo and behold, the floor was shiny clean! I was awfully proud of that floor, the ladies at LAF would be so proud. ;-) (Scary, Scary women, btw.)

3.Finally, yesterday, I inaugurated my career as Baby Therapist. Yes, yes, I know, pretty scary that I, The Messed Up One, am trying to help someone else. But, nonetheless, such is the nature of therapy. If we had to be completely healthy to be therapists, there woudln't be any therapists at all. In any case, I was So Scared, and about choked while I was trying to explain the paperwork because my breath was coming so fast, it felt like no words could come out. But then, when things got underway, I started to calm down, and for a moment, I had this feeling of exhiliration: this is it, people, this is what I've been working so long to be able to do, this is what I've dreamed of for so many years. And now? Here I am, I have Arrived.
