No answer to the daily prompt today, so hopefully it’s not a good question that I would have had a really good answer for. It’s the day that I will sit in a chair for 6-8 hours while a talented color artist tattoos some amazing flowers on my arm. I’m excited! I have a bag that I packed with snacks and a book to read. I’m worried about my blood sugar getting low and how that will affect me while I endure being repeatedly stabbed with a needle.
In honor of the fact that I am getting this tattoo as a final ‘F-you’ to the school where I worked (and was traumatized) for 19 years, I am wearing an outfit that is similar to the uniforms the middle schoolers wore. This is symbolic given that I feel as free spirited as the students did when they graduated every year and were finally free of the control we had over them and how they looked. Some of them came back to visit with blue hair, I’m getting blue tattooed on my body. When it wasn’t a P.E. day, or a Mass day, or even the monthly spirit day, the students had to wear a navy blue polo shirt with the school logo, and khaki pants. I am wearing a navy blue camisole and khaki yoga pants. It tickles me.
See you on Sunday…
