this morning on my way to the gym...

I passed one of the 'working girls' who was standing on the corner a block away from my flat... she was wearing a cowboy outfit... complete with little fringed skirt and hat that was dangling from a string and hanging down her back. This is a very new marketing initiative, by either her or her pimp (assuming she has one). As I walked by I gave her a meak smile... she is human after all I can't just pretend she doesn't exist. She responded with a very timid 'hello' I looked her in the eyes and tried to give a very quick but reassuring greeting back to her... and I kept on walking. The poor thing. She couldn't be older than 16... My heart broke into a million pieces for her. I mean, there is no way that she wasn't humiliated by standing around in an outfit like that on a suburban street corner. The world is a yucky place sometimes.

Had a very good work out this morning... detox is definitely on the cards this week as this weekend involved more drinking than biking... although there was biking involved... there was also, cleaning and resting and hangovers... Saw Jo jo and her sister on the weekend too which is always fun. Jojo is looking super fly with her very ultra trendy hair style. She can really pull it off. It looks straight from the Vidal Sassoon workshop!

I've booked my flight and I'm very nervous but I'm off to Sevilla again soon... you never know unless you try... and if the meeting doesn't go well... I still have a nice mini holiday! I think getting old must be making me go a bit soft as doing something like this in the past wouldn't have fazed me one bit... but then again my life has been pretty hectic as of late so that can't help.

Meeting up with the lovely Micha tonight to hear all about her loved up holiday in Thailand! T'will be a non alcoholic meeting for me! *heh*
