feel better? we can work on your strides more later, but it was a good start

or a good place to let my hair down and not concern myself with other people reading stuff into what I say...

um maybe

got thrown out of the room

Just finished with an unpleasant task won't need to do again for another year

"Honestly? I ignore a lot of people. A lot of the time. Because what they're saying to me has no value to me as a person. A lot of the time, out there in real life, people just wanna complain or talk about things that don't really matter."

Nods lots.

"Why do you think I come here? This place is a safe haven for people who believe that...things can be better."

Shrugs.

Hey...what happened?

Too many cases in jobs where "you're a girl" was their excuse for ignoring me

belle de jour {C}:

I am passing through SOI as I do every few months… or years.

Whenever I am here, I look for you.

I love reading your words.

You are profoundly thoughtful and filled with a calm and joyful grace which you express beautifully.

Your perceptions are the antidote for most of what ails us these days.

I hope that {C} understands the gifts that he has and does his best to reciprocate your gifts.

I would stay for a while, which is all I have, but I do not want to interrupt your train of thought, which I am sure others want to read.

looks in again

is grateful to be led back to her stall, her sweaty body wiped down

finishing my iced tea

grins, and steals a sip from Your glass of wine

after a couple of passes I lead you to your stall and check you out
wiping you down with a cool rag

walking in, ordering ice tea

- leaves~

slips out for a while as work interrupts for a few

"Leaving already? But I just got here. And we were doing so well with the wildcat flirting thing..."

Big sigh.

"Okay. Fine. Go...do what you have to do, I guess."

Smirks.

dropping in shortly

Same to you, Sofia

nodding at all present have a great rest of your day, ladies!
And stay safe!
