After clinicals today I ran by one of these $1 everyting store and grabbed a handful of makeup supplies to try. I put some regular hand lotion on my face, done the red lipstick beard cover and then just blotted powder on my face. I thought it looked okay so...off to the mall in the camo skirt, green tights and slip-on white nursing shoes.
I parked far away and went into the back door of JC Penney. I went thru that store and then out into the mall. Walked slowly all the way down to the other end and then slowly back to the exit nearest JC Penney (I wanted to walk more outside too), along the way briefly stopping to look at something in a window. Not a single soul done a double take but a 20 something latina soldier took a good look at me. Maybe its just the thing that Hispanics can pick each other out....or then maybe she could tell... she probably read me. I closely passed people of all ages but it was not very busy, some as close as 2 ft. It was 3:00PM or so. I think alot of the secret is not to act nervous, people can pick up on that.
I felt so good I went down the way and walked about an hour in the city park around a lake. There were alot of school age teens jogging/running the park and I even passed by several bunches of adolescent girls. I knew I had to be heading home so I stopped at another city park about 1/2 hour from home. All went smooth again. I am in the zone! I just want to share a great day I had! Amanda
