Yesterday was a big day....
My first time out of the car and into the world of muggles!
Doing my best to look like a GG on casual Friday....loving my new Aeropostal jeans ( 99 cents at Good Will.) Hoping to be comfortable in my 3 inch booties. Also bringing the pink sneakers if necessary, or, if I have the courage to go out on the walking path.
Pulled into Walmart and realized these are real people who are going to be up close and personal with no 2000 pound engine filled barrier...sat in the car for about 3 minutes - breathing and telling myself I could turn around at any time....did open the car door and walked through a crowded Friday afternoon Walmart parking lot and into the store, buying lunch and a purse (my first one) - checked out at the self serve. No one cared. Even got a smile from a woman walking with her toddler, who smiled, too.
Went for a walk on the green way...smiled back and forth with several GGs and a couple of GMs - No one cared.
Stopped into a crowded Publix for brussel sprouts and a steak for dinner - no one cared. The butcher asked if I was finding everything I needed, the self check out assistant smiled and wished me a great day.....no one cared.
I am glad I drove for a bit first so that I could remember people were looking at Stevie and not Steve. Such a challenge to remember to just smile at people instead of doing the Male head nod that says "I acknowledge you but I keep a straight face in case you are an enemy or in case anyone should get the idea I care about you as a person." Women either seem to smile directly or completely ignore.
Result of the excursion - elation and self-esteem. I have been waiting for more than 40 years for this day. Sad to know my SO will not be accompanying me anytime soon.
Can't wait for more.
