The real you

Daily writing prompt
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

I was thinking about this just this morning as I was getting ready. So it’s really cool that WP reached out to ask about my feelings on it.

Cordelia and I are taking Baby RR and Sid to Winnipeg on Sunday. This involves a couple of nights in a hotel. With that comes hotel room bathroom mirrors.

I need to prepare myself now. For the reflection I see in that mirror. Is it just me?

My eyebrows are backwards in these mirrors, thicker at the outer ends than the inner. I’ve been walking around like this?? I have all kinds of chin hairs I THOUGHT I’d plucked and gotten rid of. New ones in spots I’ve not seen before.

And let’s not even start on what my physique looks like getting out of the shower (well tub) in that mirror. It’s shocking and it’s scary. I only see it in hotel room bathrooms. At least like that.

I must have skinny mirrors at home. And poor lighting.

At least I’m preparing myself now.
