This Life; Ogling,

Richard of This Life sent me a great note explaining things. (See prior entry for overview.)

Thank the Goddess for a few minutes of quiet. Yesterday, I woke up and felt terrible. (So what else is new.) Again, I could not figure out what was wrong. But then around 9, I began to feel nauseous, so off to the doc I went. I indicated that I thought I had a tummy virus, and he said there was definitely a tummy bug in the air. (This of course is less than two weeks since my last visit. I'm going to suggest that they just keep my chart under the counter so it will always be handy.)

As I returned to the waiting room, I almost tripped over a chair ogling someone who I think was a drug rep. And he caught me ogling! Very bad form! Usually, I'm able to be somewhat discrete. But this man, looking very much like Brad Savage, was so adorable, I was overcome by an irresistible impulse.

I'm talking about the type of ogle that reeks of undiluted carnal lust. And it is something so involuntary that it is very obvious to others. You become frozen for a few seconds very much like the proverbial deer in the headlights. You've dropped all the shields and revealed your naked emotions. And because it is something of such emotional intensity, it registers with anyone noticing you.

I was thinking of the times I've noticed this in others. But more than that is the fact that I can remember the cases at all. And now that I really think about it, I can associate the event with some people but not others. Curious.

PAX!
