BETTER.....

Life really is day by day.  Some days, you just don't want to get out of bed to function and other days are really good.  I'm beginning to thing that life is manic-depressive and bi- polar.  I must learn not to over react to everything that goes on even if some of it is not good.

Yesterday I was super busy.  I had an early morning appointment, mani//pedi appointment, car appointment and then I needed to get home to get ready to go out with Desi.  During the day I had three phone calls from the Veteran man, who asked what I was doing this weekend.  I told him I was busy, so that finally ended the phone calls, at least for the day.

Last night I had a phone call, while Desi and I were in the car driving South.  I thought it was someone I knew that has been calling me. I didn't answer it, although Desi wanted me to....he loves to cause trouble.  When I finally picked up my messages on my cell this morning it wasn't who I thought it was.  It was a man that contacted me from Las Vegas, a while back, who at this point in time is in Germany and traveling all over Europe.  He gave me a phone number to call him collect and said he was heading for Instabul, Turkey. Let me get right on that!   Why he couldn't wait until he came back to the States to call me is beyond me.

Desi again, drove three hours to see me.  He did interview with the Sheik's people the other day and now is going to London to interview again.  This time they are flying him over on the Sheik's private jet.  I know he will get the job that he wants.  He was so over solicitous last night.  He kept telling me that he wouldn't drive as far as he does to see me if he didn't like me.  When I told him I was not thrilled with myself for getting emotionally invested in him, he said he was emotionally invested in me too. That was sure a first.  He kept telling me how fabulous I looked.  It was also the first time he has ever said he missed me. He looked great.  Black jeans, black turtle neck and a grey tweed sportscoat.  My Mr. Beverly Hills.

It is the norm, when we go out together, for people, men and women to come up to us and tell us we look terrific together.  I can't tell you how many times that has happened. We do make a striking couple if I do say so myself.  We are both tall, we love to get dressed up and are usually over dressed, but make a statement wherever we go. I don't know why people feel the need to comment on us, but they do every place we go. My parents had that same effect on people

Desi loves me to wear high heels and I kid him about being a shoe fetish man....he does look at all women's shoes and comments if they don't meet his standards. He dislikes flats. We always are happy and laughing when we are together and people do gravitate towards us because we are having such a good time together. We both are outgoing and extremely social. We have a tendency to include everyone in our halo of light.  Not interverts for sure.

 I don't know where all of this is going, but I guess I'm going to take it one day at a time and not obsess about the time he will be gone and just enjoy the time we have together.  I do have a life, although a lot of the time it is screwed up by my own volition. I will find my footing.  It has been a rough five years or so and I just need to re-evaluate me.

At this point in time Desi is working seven days a week and at several locations putting out fires  He says he is running an adult day care for his Subs that can't seem to do things on their own without being babysat by the Boss.  He is pretty demanding, the German in him, I'm sure. A perfectionist.  That makes me happy due to the fact I don't like people that are scattered and slobs.

So, tonight I have a " date" with a women that asked me to an event in South County.  I know a lot of the people that are going, so it should be a nice time.  I'm hoping to put the first part of the week behind me and go on with the second half being pleasant and expecting nothing.

I should remember that every day brings something different.

Have a wonderful weekend.
