I see in movies and TV that women go for a whole day at a spa and love it, so I thought Id try it. I was so bored I had to work to keep from running out of the place. When they told me the pedicure lady couldnt get there, I was jubilant. I paid and left. So thats one thing off my bucket list. Have you ever wanted to try something then did it and found you hated it? The good thing was that I had a thought that Tate is talking on the phone when Casey overhears him. Thats it. One idea in a whole day. Something that is bothering me here is that for the first time in my life I have been treated as an old person. I had a young man offer to help me walk across a street. I gave him a look that made him step back. Yesterday on a table the young woman held her arm out and told me to use it. I had no idea what she meant. She thought I needed help sitting up! The wait staff talks to me in a kind of baby talk, as though Im just the cutest little thing. On and on. I have gone from bewilderment to anger to How can I use this in a book? I rewrote a character from this. All this has made me think about how a person feels based on how she is treated. If I stayed here very long I would give in and start thinking I was a very old person. I would give up boxing and pushing carts full of 45 pound plates across the room. I would start seeing myself in the way I am treated. Anyway, this has been a new experience for me and has made me think about how you see yourself based on how you are treated. Have any of you experienced anything like this? Where you are treated as something you are not? I would think this would extent to being dumb or uneducated, whatever. Just thoughts. It has all been a shock to me. In retaliation, I made a big order from Ringside. I needed a reminder that I can sit up all by myself. Jude
