I just went to a wedding. We drove about 2 1/2 hours there, stayed 2 nights, drove home. I felt lousy the entire time, but....got dressed, did the hair and make up....looked "normal." So, most people, when I go out, see me looking pretty good, on good days, but the other 6 days, in my sweats, hair pulled up, no make up...not so good, they don't see that.
Years ago when I was first sick we had to travel on a business "vacation" with my husband's distributor that his company delt with. I was sick the whole time, rarely went out of the room for 3 days. Coming home off the plane the idiot boss (president or whatever he was) said, "boy do you look like you had a rough night." In other words, partying, drinking like the rest of them. I could have hit him, he thought it was funny...ha, ha, no.
