Well, its the day after Christmas, and there are some great sales out there. Since my wife had to work, I planned to get out and take advantage. But first, I'd scheduled an eye exam. I'd originally intended to go in drab, as I always had in the past, but decided today that I didn't want to waste a moment dressed in guy clothes, so I went en femme to my 9:30 appointment.
I checked in and took a seat along with three other patients - two males, other female. I wasn't particularly interested in their reaction, so I can't honestly say if any of the other patients took notice of me. The front desk staff was entirely courteous and professional - and treated me with the same level of courtesy as I've experienced in the past.
The Doctor was new, which was a bit of a disappointment, because I liked the provider I've seen in recent years, but he was very friendly, very courteous and took time to talk about the typical issues people experience as they age...not that it applies to me now, but you know, for future reference! Anyway, came away with new contacts, a new eyeglass prescription and another minor milestone.
Next - I'm due for an annual check up with my primary care doctor. I guess its time that I went there fully en femme too!
And I got a couple of cute sweaters, both magenta, at Avenue, several gold and silver necklaces, matching ear rings and two bracelets at Avenue...all 60% off or more, and I bought two cute ribbed, turtle neck sweaters (an olive green and rose) at Coldwater Creek...both 50% off.
