Even my computer is having a senior moment. Nothing but problems with the new laptop. This too shall pass.
It finally happened. I had a email from a man that said, "are we still on for tomorrow." On for what? I couldn't remember emailing him or making any kind of plans including, remembering h is name. Early stages of Alzheimer's or I just have too many people in my life.
I emailed the man back and told him that I had been so busy, which was the truth, and that I had forgotten to write anything down, which I obviously did, and would he please refresh my memory. We made arrangements to meet the next day in San Juan Capistrano for lunch.
I sailed down the freeway. Normally it takes about twenty minutes to a half hour to drive the twenty miles. This time I made it in a little over fifteen minutes. I was a little early and the store next to the restaurant was having a Sale. I ran into the the place and managed to try on and purchase a animal print dress in a nano second.
After making my purchase I went to the restaurant next door and waited in the lobby. Shortly thereafter this tall grey haired man came in. He was a lot better looking then his picture, which I had looked up on the site before I left for the town down south that I was to meet him.
After we were seated and had ordered our ice teas, I asked him what he did for a living. He replied that he was a psycho therapist and had his own practice. Oh goody! Free mental health. He was reserved at the beginning. as the lunch progressed he was a little more chatty and interesting. He had a tendency to ask a lot of question and want to know about the people I know and my feelings about life. The therapist coming out in him. I have to say I find writing this Blog therapy and a heck of lot cheaper.
It was a pleasant lunch but I had no desire to see him again. He also lived near San Diego which did make it close for either of us.
The following day was Nancy's birthday. I had taken my step grand kids to lunch and then drove down to see Nancy. I took her a piece of chocolate cake since I think everyone should have some sort of cake for their birthday. After spending a little time with her I drove to the alteration place to pick up a dress I had left for redoing.
I was meeting another guy from another site. This man had contacted me for almost a year and I finally relented. He was Irish, fairly portly, but nice looking. Also in his seventies. I met him for an early dinner. He was a lot of fun and we had a great conversation for several hours. It is amazing how you can appreciate all the different types of people that are out there. He was respectful, no sexual comments and I enjoyed him for the moment.
On the drive down to the restaurant I had a cell phone call from a man that again, I didn't recognize. Senior moments are coming more often. He was a semi retired lawyer and was interested in going out. I told him I would have to think about it and he should call me the following day.
Then Mr. Studio Man called and said he had made reservations at a beach restaurant for us on Sunday night. When I pulled into the parking lot MP was calling.(I think the boys are on the move) I thought MP was calling me because of an email I had sent him, but no he was just calling. Not something he usually does unless we have something planned or he is coming down to see me. We had such a good time last week and everyone that saw us said we made a striking couple. We have so much fun going out together.
I think the reason I can't get interested in anyone else, although I'm trying, is that he is so much fun and we have a great connection together. He was date number two last year and he has been a constant.
So we will see what the day and tomorrow brings. I haven't been writing much due to my computer problems and now hope they are fixed and I can continue on.
Ciao
