It doesn't happen to have eye blots in the ceiling does it?

I'm laughing so hard that I'm blotting my eyes.

Eye blots?  Oh, no, I assure you it is all freshly painted.  None of the old stains show through.

I had a rather insane assumption that "eye blot" was another phrase for a peep hole in a someone's-eyes-moving-from-behind-a-painting-in-an-episode-of-Scooby-Doo sense. Eye bolt makes so much more sense in context. (I'm not joking at all, that was my actual first thought which I stuck with until reading the correction. :D)

  Hi Folks,

  Today was facial torture day. I prepped my mustache for it again, had already taken 3 ibuprofen, attempted to drown myself all morning and off I went with my white plastic wrapped mustache. Arrived early and waited in the truck until there were 10 minutes to go. I got to her door and see the "Do Not Disturb" sign still in place and hear voice inside so I went into the vacant office next door to fiddle with my phone and reply to a couple messages. About 10 minutes go by and I hear the current client leave and knocked on Christina's door and entered.
  I made her happy today by greeting her cheerfully and replying to her usual "how are your today" question with a answer of "actually I'm doing pretty good today and have been doing pretty good for several days now" It wasn't quite the "I'm doing great" that she's said she wants to hear someday but it was a far cry from the "I'm okay I guess" she is used to hearing.
  We talked of many things as usual, but when we talked of how I haven't wanted to have visitors or go visit friends for fear of  losing control, breaking down and bawling if I were to talk with one of my friends about how bad I've been feeling recently and where my thoughts take me. She tried to tell me it would be okay and it's what women do and are expected to do under various circumstances. I tried to explain that it is one of my male conditioning problems. ie guys don't cry or lose control. I think she almost wanted to slap me up the side of the head for that comment. She said but your not a man and you never really have been. It's not losing control. It's normal, it's what us woman do and that it's also normal for women to talk to other women about their problems.
  I really like Christina and she hears a lot of my problems as she inflicts pain upon my face. The hug at the end is always a welcome part of my visits.

  Today was a Good day.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Laurie, I've always suspected that our electrologists are secretly therapists. You just confirmed it.   ;)

I'm glad you had a good day.

Michelle,

  As near as I can figure, I have three besides the combined therapeutic entity that is Susan's Place.  One being my dear Aussie friend Liz, that I talk to a lot via skype, the second is Christina my electrocutioner, and my VA therapist of course. I don't know which of the four I abuse the most. I think it's Liz.

Stephanie,

  (Yes), I looked (it) up. Yiddish? really? At least I (didn't) have to hunt down a rabbi.

Tomorrow is therapy day at the VA.

Hugs,
   Laurie
