At 8.20 pm the bag was returned to it rightful owner – me. After looking at myself in the mirror at work this afternoon, I felt that its return was close to a blessing. At least for my dear colleagues. I don’t even want to know what I would look like tomorrow with-out my Redken Wool shaker, my MAKE-UP store’s Deadly eyeshadow and my Lancôme mascara.

Still I got a couple of strange comments today. People, men, apparently thought I was brave to show up at all. Not that I believe they thought I was looking that bad, more that I propbably would be so insecure about myself that I couldn’t go to work and think (that is what my job is most about).

Is it not strange how we women are perceived still… I am just happy that I am not one of those who make these perception thrive.
