*wipes drool off of face*

Ok normally my patients that come in are seniors, some sweet, some crusty, some pervy, some lonely, some bubbly and happy.
So I go to work with no makeup, casual clothes, hair unstyled- just put up and away from my face.
ULTIMATE Low maintenance

Today I was driving to work looking at my nails (no no I'm not this vain). Since my cousins wedding I had my nails done and I just re-polished them lastnight. I was thinking to myself that just because I work where I work I should still keep my appearance up. Ya know, BASIC maintenance.

So this new patient comes in today. At first I thought this mid-30's looking guy was lost and looking for the dietician or counsellors something. Nope, he was here to come to my clinic.... and...........

DANG HE WAS SOOOOOO FINE! (I know I know I should not think these things about patients- but I am talking as a normal single female right now not a health care provider).

He was this tall, black, kind looking, hunky "law inforcement" guy ........... with a english accent! (apparently from south England). What is it about the accent that gets to a gal? I didnt think that I was impressed by accents that much but...... wowzers! It just added this extra somefin somefin to the hunkiness standing before me!

Anyhow, I felt I looked kinda crappy. Ya know, exuding my low-maintenance-aura and all. Its ok. Not that I am gona hit on a patient or something anyways. But it just reminded me that I shouldnt let my appearance go by the wayside, no matter what situation I am in. I should not just keep up my appearance when I go out with my gfs, I should do this all the time..... you know - be ever ready and prepared in my singleness. So as I look at the mirror in my office right now and see the worn out face, tired, dark undereye circles, scraggly hair tied back,.......... I know that alittle more maintenance is needed and - it would even add a little much needed self confidence in my boring life hehe.
