Well, Shirl...
Maybe you'll appreciate this. I just got home from a 15 hour day. I stopped by the convenience store on my way home. On my way out a homeless fellow approached me. I gave him all the cash I had in my purse, which wasn't much. In other days I'd keep a $10 bill around in my car for these kinds of occasions but I was a little short today. His name was Brian.
He showed me the gash on his forehead on which he'd received 7 staples which were going to be removed on Monday. He wasn't looking forward to it.
He told me that after he had gotten the staples at the emergency room a week or so ago he needed to clean up his wound at some point. He just wanted a sink, some soap and water. A man had been in the public facility in a nearby park for almost 2 hours while he and a friend of his waited. No telling what the other fellow was doing in the men's room during this time.
Brian and his friend were tired of waiting, so he told his friend, oh, I'm just going to do it in the ladies' side of the facility. A woman approached and became upset at him and called the police. He explained to the policeman that he was just cleaning his head wound.
The woman felt bad about it afterwards. So, she went out and got him some bandages, some hydrogen peroxide, and a whole bottle of Advil.
We talked a bit. He told me his name was Brian. I told him my name, and he said he'd had a girlfriend by that name once. I held his hands in mine. I said, yeah, it's been a long day. He said, well, it's just another day for me. We wished each other well.
As he was telling me the story of being caught and chastised for being in the ladies room in a park's outdoor restroom I could not help but think of this thread.
Isn't that interesting?
So I had to tell you.
love, blink
