I finally drug myself out of my chair to drive to the gas station and fill my tank.
When I arrived, I realized I was only in: Shorts, a white Tee Shirt, Suspenders, and Shoes.—No Socks.
Unfortunately for me, my two Ostomy bags, hanging from my stomach, hang out and show under my white Tee Shirt. —And there were a lot of people at the gas station.
“I forgot to put an overshirt on,” I think.
Then, I figure if I get out fast and start pumping gas, I can get back in the vehicle and wait for it to finish. (Maybe not too many people will see me.)
It was the only plan I could come up with, so I got out of my truck, quickly unscrewed my gas cap, put my card into the payment slot, and began pumping gas. I then got inside and waited.
Once it finished pumping, I got out and put the pump back. I then got in my truck.
“Pfew” I don’t think anyone saw my two Ostomy Bags flopping around as I did that.”
I did try to keep my Tee Shirt pushed down as much as possible.
I crank up and drive home.
As I was leaving the gas station, everyone outside was very friendly and waving at me. So, of course, I smile and wave back.
“This day is looking up,” I think to myself.
I get home and park.
After turning my truck off, I look in the drivers-side Rear View Mirror, and it hits me. “Oh. Maybe this day isn’t looking up after all…”
At least, not yet.
Now, I’m getting in the shower.
Everything is better after a shower.
