> I was due later in the week for an appointment with the gynecologist.
Early

had

packed

> The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to

hygiene

the

> washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash
in
> "that area" to make sure I was at least presentable.  I threw the
washcloth

> I was in the waiting room only a few minutes when I was called in.
Knowing

at
> the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other
> place a million miles away.  I was a little surprised when the doctor
said,
> "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?"  But I didn't

went
> home.  The rest of the day was normal... some shopping, cleaning, cooking,
> etc.

> After school when my six-year-old daughter was playing, she called out
from

>
> I told her to get another one from the cupboard.  She replied, "No, I need
> the one that was here by the sink.  It had all my glitter and sparkles in
> it."
