Hey, look, it's Nashua!
Okay, I got my states mixed up. Hell, they're all so small and crammed together up here that it's no wonder. Today I hit clinics in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. For a Midwest girl, that's a wonder confined only to road trips with sparing potty breaks. I think we're going to Connecticut tomorrow, but don't hold me to it.
Question: what sadistic nitwit designed my hotel room? Whoever it was should be shot, drawn and quartered, tarred and feathered, etc. Who in the hell thinks it's a great idea to put a giant vanity-to-ceiling mirror directly across from the shower? I mean, really. SO not something I need to see first thing in the morning. Especially before coffee. As if that's not bad enough, a full-length dressing mirror was installed right across from the bathroom, so unless you close the bathroom door when you're doing your, ahem, business, you get another fantastic view. I dunno. Maybe you all close the door when you use the bathroom even when you're alone. Me? I'm big into efficiency and if no one else is around, I don't bother with doors. Until now. Sigh.
Either way, I'm gettin' some new views when I really, really don't want them.
Ate at another great restaurant tonight - I love going to local places with people who know and swear by the food. Awesome.
So, highlights of the day: Nashua, NH (as mentioned many times in The West Wing, which is only the greatest show ever) and eating at 3. And meeting the staff of a wonderful little clinic in Nashua, including the vet's wife who told me about how they were nursing a parrot and took him home for awhile. She positioned the bird so that she'd have to walk by the cage many times a day. Every time she walked by, she said, "Dr. Phenix is a great vet." Sure enough, the parrot learned it and took it home to its owners who thought, of course, that it was hilarious. The woman is a marketing genius.
Lowlights of the day: catching unwanted glimpses of oneself in various states of dress (or undress, rather), when one least expects it. Stupid mirrors.
