Red Faced!!

Holy cow!!  If y'all could see my face right now, you would see it's as pink as the sweater I am wearing.  Hot pink...to be exact!!

I work in a office that has 5 lawyers, and 2 mental health professionals in it.  One of the mental health nurse practitioners see's patients, here in his office.  I don't know any of his patients by name...only when they come in and say they are here to see the Dr.  Anyway, the Dr. saw this patient and the patient leaves, but then comes back in a moment later, after the Dr. has already called another patient in.  The patient comes up to me and asks me where the bathroom is.  Ummm...well.  How do I say this?  The person had on earrings which were feminine and dangly, but....totally looked like a dude.  How do decipher which restroom to point them to when you are not sure of their gender?  So, I said there was a restroom behind them (the womens) and there was also a restroom around the corner. (the mens.)  They went into the womens.  I guess it was a woman?  I'll have to ask the Dr. if I can contain my embarrassment while asking.

On another note...I.AM.STARVING!!!  Like, really, really hungry.  I brought in some brownies  yesterday and there were two left when I came in today.  I threw them away, because I am sure they were stale after sitting here all night.  But what I REALLY would like to do, is fish them babies out of the garbage and eat them (secretly, of course) but I won't.  I do have some apple chai oatmeal I could have, but I guess I am not THAT hungry, because it doesn't even sound good. (or the fact that I had a bad headache a couple weeks ago and actually threw up oatmeal...so yeah....I might have to just throw it away because the thought of it makes me kinda blech!!)     :)

Feeling a little down today...and yes, it's due to the break up of my oldest child.  I don't know why it has affected me the way it has, but now I (kind of, but not really) know how my ex-mother-in-law felt when Shawn and I got divorced.  And Ashlyn and Robbies relationship wasn't even...what's the word I want?  Viable?  I mean, it was viable, and they were engaged and everything, but it's not like they were actually married and had started a life together.  Like with a bank account or anything.  Or kids.  Or dogs.  Or co-mingling of the combat boots and camouflage.  But...starting right this moment...I am done with my pity party.  She will have other loves and probably some other heart-breaks.  And Michael and Kayte will have loves and break-ups and ups and downs.  And I promise that I won't get "butt hurt" when any of their relationships fail.  Cause I just have to put on my big girl panties...and deal.  RIGHT??!!  Right.

I'm still hungry.  Marlene (my sweet boss-(she might read this.) says that there is always cereal in her office that I can have.  But, I just feel kind of weird about having some.  I shake my head at myself...cause that is weird in itself.  I mean, she says to help myself...but I can't bring myself to do it.  (Insert eye roll at myself HERE!!)  You all would laugh because I LITERALLY DID shake my head and do an eye roll.  LOL!!!

OK...off to eat some mints.
