Pretty girls poop too.

i was thinking about an old supervisor recently and the conversations we used to have. the idea that girls poop was a reality that he refused to hear, and i hadn't even initiated that conversation, but i found myself arguing, obviously, in support of the fact that girls do, in fact, poop. I thought of this when I was in the bathroom at work, because it's not a bathroom that only has one toilet, it has two stalls because it's a patient bathroom, and i felt so embarrassed for having to go to the bathroom and it's like, really? why? i was dressed all nice in heels and a skirt, and i thought hey, pretty girls poop too.
we were talking in group and this one patient was talking about how she needs to stop thinking that everyone cares about every little thing she does, and that no one is expecting her to be perfect. And generally, i think that's true, but there are definitely instances that i think we can all think of if we give it a moment where someone was obviously expecting perfect, and they were very disappointed and let us know one way or the other of their dissatisfaction. This is part of the thinking behind my old supervisor's belief that girls don't poop, because if they did, his impression of them would lessen, because pooping is such a vile thing doncha know. which is probably why i disagreed with him so strongly, because how can you judge someone for performing a basic function of even the tiniest single-celled organisms? Right? Even plant and animal cells "poop".
In the spirit of this particular train of thought, i ask my loyal readers (all two of you) as well as myself to drop some of my expectations over the next few days, or at least as long as the thought lasts. See if, when you lower those expectations, you are less aggravated at the result. I will be making a conscious effort and I'll try to report back.
Have a fabulous day and take a moment to enjoy the sunshine.
