I spent most of today with ladies, doing feminine things. Believe it or not, I did not break out in hives. It was actually pretty fun. Got a foot massage and a pedicure, then off to a "high tea". I met lots of new people, which requires pushing buttons for me. Although I engaged people I didn't know and tried to connect, I still allowed myself to drift back to comfortable conversations with closer friends. It was a nice day overall.
Between my engagements with the ladies, I wandered around the area to different tile shops, asking if they had any broken tiles to give me. Most everyone, after they got over their confusion, laughed at me. They just throw broken tiles away, no one keeps them. It looks like I'm going to have to buy good tiles and break them myself. Which kills me.
I am aiming to do a mosaic, of sorts, by the way.
Something nice happened during my search, however. At first I couldn't find the tile shops. I knew there was a street with a lot of them right in a row. But I walked and walked, and just wasn't coming across them. I stopped at a different shop and asked where the tile places were. She explained, and I headed off, even though the girl warned me it was a bit of a walk. I told her it was OK, I needed the exercise. I had gone a ways down the road, when a motorbike pulled up next to me. It was the girl from the shop, and she told me to hop on and she'd take me. I asked her if she had free time, and she said, "Just a little bit." Well, she took me right where I needed to go, dropped me off and zoomed back to work. It was just so nice. I was really surprised and grateful.
Anyway, back home this evening, the cat was just crazy with energy. My Mr. said she slept a lot while I was away. It was obvious she missed me, but I'm not as sure about Mr. I think he enjoyed day alone—even though there was a loud celebration for International Human Rights Day in the park right next to our house. On his own with the cat and the noise, he seemed to relish the time to himself anyway.
