I will NOT let this tiny woman push me around and rush me this time, I swear under my breath. She will just have to wait for me to be ready. It's not necessarily embarrassing to do my task for Daddy, but I don't exactly need everyone noticing and wondering what in the hell I'm doing.
I walk into the nail salon and before I know what's happening the pint sized drill sergeant has my fingernails wrapped in cotton balls and foil and my ass in the pedicure chair. As always this is a problem because I am to pick 3 colors and send pictures to Daddy so he can then choose what I will wear for him. I can protest all I want, but she somehow manages to get me in this position before I can even look through the swatches.
Today I am determined to accomplish my goal, so I sit in the chair and use my knuckles to push the screen on my phone. There is no way to hide that I am taking pictures of the different hues of purple and then sending them to Daddy. Her eyebrows continually go up and she repeatedly asks if I have picked a color yet. I almost tell her to hold her horses. Instead I politely say "no, not yet", as we smile at each other.
I have tried many different ways to get those few minutes that it would take to get my simple task done, but to no avail. I have shown up to my appointment early, thinking that she won't be ready for me. I have shown up a few minutes late, thinking maybe she will have someone else in the chair since I wasn't on time. Each and every time is the same outcome though.
I believe that I have found a solution, as I was talking to Daddy on the phone after the nail appointment. I jokingly told him that the task is far more difficult than he probably intended because of this small obstacle and that I am now looking at it as a puzzle. As I was telling him all of the things that I have tried already, it popped into my head that the next appointment, before I leave, I will choose the three colors and take pictures so Daddy can choose for the following visit!
Yes my very next visit will be a typical appointment, but I think after that I will be able to not feel irritated and rushed. Or I can just come right out and tell her that I will get punished if I don't get my task accomplished for my Daddy and I will share the punishment with her! We'll see if she likes it any more than I do!
