Today was supposed to be a "Camille day" at a local hotel. I plan these every few months, usually with a new outfit or two already purchased and much anticipation for a whole day to dress. This time was unique in that I was going to shave my legs for the first time. With the cold weather here and swimming behind me, I felt it was a good time to try doing so. I've been excited for months, and even set a goal of losing some additional weight by today (which I did!).
But last night as I was preparing and I realized something. Just 3 days ago we planned an impromptu vacation to Phoenix (for a week from now) to surprise my daughter. And the big thing at the hotel? And endless river pool that circles the property, which we will undoubtedly spend hours in. I did not want to be walking around in my swimming trunks with stubbly legs, trying to explain to my inquisitive 5 year old why daddy had shaved his normally hairy legs (which she would be happy to tell all her friends about). And though my wife knows I'm doing this, she's not thrilled about it. I had hoped to not display it to her until at least a few weeks of growth had passed to get past the awkward stubbly phase.
So I had to change plans. Luckily the hotel only charged me a modest fee to move my reservation to Dec 4. So all is not lost. But I'm feeling very a major let down from all the giddy excitement I'd been feeling, and am not thrilled to be going into work (I need to save my precious few vacation days).
That's all. Just needed to vent.
