So, I have been out exploring the world around me as Isha which this week included an inaugural bus ride on the city transit. To date, I have been to various malls, restaurants, Starbucks, the liquor store and grocery stores. However, today I wanted to go someplace where Isha has never been but "guy me" has . . . before anyone says "the guys change room at the gym" . . . no and shame on you . . . Isha after all is a lady
I am doing a bathroom renovation while on holidays and as such need to get a new toilet, tiles and other stuff. So I thought why not go to Home Depot "en femme" and get this stuff. Now while I will be the first to admit this is not a guys only place (plenty of GGs go there) for a CDer, this was one of those daunting stores I did not see myself venturing to "en femme"
So I got in the SUV and headed to the city, pulled into Home Depot and walked in. Of course I ended walking smack dab into a load of contractors waiting around for their stuff to come in. There was some awkward stares (not sure if I was getting checked out) but it was awkward with a capital "A". Interaction with the SAs at the plumbing fixtures and flooring departments were interesting but once they realized I was not crazy they relaxed and we conducted our business. I put the toilet and tiles on the cart, paid and headed out to the loading area.
This is where it gets weird. I left my cart long enough to pull up my SUV and began loading the tiles. At that moment, from the same group of contractors standing around earlier, three guys came over and said "we'll give you a hand miss" and loaded my SUV.
Now I am going to walk away from this believing that was an example of the kind spirit of human nature (I am sure they knew I was not a really a girl). But I have to admit . . . it was whole different world at the good old Home Deport for Isha today.
Hugs
Isha
