This afternoon I washed the mildew off my suburban home for two hours. I would have completed the task, but my chapter had a social held at a Black owner art gallery here in the city. As neighbors and vistors passed by I could see them looking or staring at me. I wondered....do they think I'm doing this because I'm a strong independent Black woman? My reply was..hell no I don't want to have to pay a substancial fine to my home owners association!!! Now that's why I'm up here on this ladder working like a man. My neighbor showed me the mechanics. Then returned later to see if I had the hang of it. I really appreciated it...its his ladder, solution, and nozzle. He's near retirement age. We had light conversation. I told him, "you know I'm not like most women...shopping is ok but I'm going to spend all day at the mall". His response was, "I already figured that out" : )
I showered, dressed and attended the holiday social. It was nice or as the elders would say, it was "uptown". I purchased my first African painting. I have other artwork but they are prints. This is the first painting. The owner is coming to hang the picture Tuesday afternoon.
As I left the city and returned to the suburbs...I thought to myself. Girl, you are doing pretty good. Of course tomorrow I'll tell myself I could have used to $ for something else...tonight I'm happy with the decision.
