I start this Thursday morning as I did a week ago. I wake up early, three minutes before the alarm would have gone off on its own, and make my way blindly to the bathroom, where I take one of the hottest showers I've taken in a while. It was quite invigorating.
I clean, dress, and then wake Maria. After letting the puppies out, and making sure that I hear the movement of my six foot one princess upstairs, I begin to allow a cold, slow panic to seep into the corners of my mind.
"Dear Gods," I think quietly as I stare at the screen in front of me, "I'm going to get naked for complete strangers today!"
It occurs to me to think that last time wasn't really that bad, because it wasn't, but that doesn't stop the momentary twinge of worry that, in the immortal words, "They're all going to laugh at (me)."
I grab my robe and wait in the den for Maria to be done with her morning ritual. If she wasn't accomadating me by going to work an hour early so that I can make it to the school's art class on time I might think about calling in. It's only a two-time gig anyways. Doesn't matter, she is being really nice and sacrificing sleep, something she can hardly afford these days, and I have to go through with this again.
I raise my head, set my chin, and nod slowly.
I will go.
I will undress.
I will be, A Model!
