My Heart to Heart Talk With Tonia

My Heart to Heart Talk With Tonia

After seeing my cancer doctor this past Monday, August 17, 2015, on my way out, I ran into my favorite phlebotomist, Tonia (who I have waxed eloquent twice before on this blog page), who I discovered was suffering from a hoarse voice which she attributed to secondhand smoking. I took her aside from the other women employees of the cancer center and I told Tonia that seeing her in this condition makes me want to rescue a beautiful damsel in distress and I told her of how I've had that deep longing since I was a young adolescent, seeing the beautiful actress Susan Hayward play the part of a wrongfully executed woman in the movie, "I Want To Live!".

I then told Tonia that there was something that I'm surprised that I didn't tell Tonia when I ran into her at Walmart several months earlier and I told her, "I guess it's because I was overcome by your aura," which made Tonia smile and laugh and quite obviously happy.  I told her that it was when I saw Dr. Bari about a year earlier and at the end of my examination, we were talking about Tonia and that Dr. Bari agreed with me that Tonia was very good at her job. I continued, "I told Dr. Bari that out of all of the women who I've ever met, that you (Tonia) are the most feminine......of them all. From Day #1, you've just exuded femininity."

Tonia gushed and smiled and twisted her body a little from side to side, obviously very pleased by my compliment and Tonia told me, "I'm just a Girlie Girl."

And I laughed and I told Tonia, "That's just about right."
