Truth or Dare?

I am so hungry. I didnt pause much today to eat. My life changes from one moment to another. There are brief moments I wonder how long I can keep up this double life. Other times I think I wouldnt change it (for now) because I dont feel like Im done doing whatever Im doing.

My client today was not who was originally scheduled. I was supposed to see K, a regular who Ive seen maybe a half dozen times now. I received an email first thing this morning saying something had come up and he didnt think he was going to be able to make it. I responded telling him to call me to let me know. He wouldnt be calling for 3 hours or more, so in 5 minutes time and a phone call, another client moved into that time slot. Sure enough, K calls later saying he could make it but I told him something had also come up and could we tomorrow? Yes. 11:30? Sure. Great.

So, a new client, V., has come to town from on the coast. A four hour drive. He wants to see me for 2 hours. He arrives with a dozen pink roses. Wow. And scented hand soaps. Lovely! I give him a kiss, saying he didnt have to do all of that!! (honestly, I dont ask or hint about gifts, I think thats tacky.)

V. is a very nice man, we’ve emailed and talked several times over a several week period. He knows someone I know in the biz so that made me feel more comfy that he was definately "legit". He works in journalism and an engaging man to speak with. He has a warm, comforting tone to his voice. Today was the most difficult appointment Ive had. Wait, I take that back. It equals a MUCH older new client I met last week in an upscale establishment. V. is extremely overweight and Ill spare you details. It just wasnt pretty. Normally, I cannot fake or act pleasure….I truely enjoy what I do, and I havent had to fake it. The main act I had to today. Tho I enjoyed his company, being with him was very difficult. I was just glad when the time was up…though he was not aware of that. I am there to fulfill his fantasies. He was happy to not only the tune of my donation request but an additional 150 clams.

I left with my head spinning. This can be an addicting lifestyle. I left there to pick up my son from school. Gears switched without so much as a grind. Poof! Back to mommy.

In mommy-life, my older son has Bells Palsy of the left side of his adorable cherub face. Took him to the doc today…nerve compression from the terrible horrible awful ear infection he had last week. It will gradually get better. He has that slight Sly Stallone droop to his face….poor baby. Doesnt seem to affect him tho other than that his left eye doesnt close all of the way. I am just to watch him slowly but neuro tests show nothing serious. Whew. I love that child.

Tomorrow, I see K for an hour. He sees me about twice a month…I think he likes me…likes me, likes me. He says he tries to wait a month but just cant. LOL. He is a really great person.

Well, being worried about my little one last night kept me awake til 4:30am, so I am hittin the hay. Need some rest for tomorrow!

Whats in store for the rest of the day? I dunno, that story has yet to be written.
