I was driving home yesterday and heard my cell phone ding loudly. That usually means I've received a text message from someone. I pulled up to my house and looked at the message and it was Desi. He said he never got out of his office up North and he asked if I'd I be around later in the afternoon, as he was leaving his office around three and wanted to come to see me.. He is about seventy eight miles away and after three o'clock the traffic in LA is beyond. I told him I was home for the duration and to come over. He said it might be a while but he would be there. If you remember he was leaving to go further up North on a job and wasn't going to see me until Sunday. We hadn't seen each other for almost three weeks and "Memorex" for both of us was getting pretty old.
He called several times on his way down and it seemed that every freeway had an accident on it. I will say, if nothing else, he was determined to see me hell or high water. It took him four hours to get to my house and he didn't arrive until seven in the evening. Amazing how determined a man can be when it is a booty call. Not that I'm complaining. It also turned out to be a good conversation between us.
The worse thing, for him, was he needed to leave my house to go home, fifty miles, to pack, then leave for a three and a half hour or more drive for a seven in the morning meeting. I don't know how he does it. He functions on very little sleep. I asked why he didn't pack before and he said he wasn't planning on coming South, but things change. Lucky me!
We had a great conversation about how perfect we were for each other and if anyone had told us this would happen we would have called them liars. There is such a strong connection that every time we see each other it is like the first time and the bloom isn't off the rose yet. It makes it nice that we both have separate lives that allows each other to do what we need to do. It will be probably never go anywhere between us ,but it sure is fun traveling the road, wherever it might lead.
I texted him this morning and told him I hoped he got some sleep and made it to his meeting. I also added a few other things to which he answered, "ditto". I swear to God I feel like a teenager again. What fun and without all the angst.
Desi is coming back around two in the afternoon on Sunday. He said he would make up for the short visit and we could do anything I wanted to do. I'll have to ponder that and see what I come up with.
I was suppose to go to a friends house for dinner with the girls tomorrow night, Saturday, but it got cancelled. One of our very good friends has a twisted hip and the gal that was having the dinner is staying with her to help. Since that got cancelled I found something else to do.
I had lunch at the Elks today with some people from Newport Beach and they asked if I was coming to the Italian Night. Since it is cooked by volunteer Italians it should be great. At the time I said no because of the previous dinner plans. When I got home after doing a ton of errands I got the message the dinner was cancelled so I called a friend to get a seat, if possible, at her table. So I do have something to do and another friend to go with to the event.
I also talked to my wonderful brother today and that was good.
Life is busy and going along in a positive way. I figure I better enjoy everyday, one doesnt' know what will happen so bask in the light while you can..
