It's been over a Month now since Lee left me. The tears and shock are gone.
I answered the phone, finally, it was just my Mom worried.
I called the Massage Therapy School where I worked, and talked with the supervisor. He told me he had me signed off due to a "Family emergency", and my job was waiting.
He had assigned Gwen, another instructor, to my classes.
So other than the breakup of my marriage, I was OK.
I finally got up the energy to go back to class. It was just going through the familiar motions, but I got through the first week, and by Friday, I almost felt normal.
But my phone rang as I walked in the door Friday night.
It was Nina.
Nina is a regular client, she is sweet and good to know. Her main flaw is she is big, around 300 pounds, if one can consider that a flaw.
But to me, she has always been a sweet, wonderful lady.
She wanted to make an appointment for a massage.
I took the appointment, after almost a Month of no work, and no money coming in, I knew I needed to make a living.
