Cold, raining and miserable on this Sunday. I actually have put the fireplace on for warmth not ambiance. Being in a puddle seems to be the mode of the day.
Last night Desi and I went out for my birthday dinner, which is coming up on November 8. We ended up going to The Five Crowns, which was a big disappointment. This place was one of my favorite restaurants until last night. The paper had said that they remodeled and changed the menu. The remodel, we decided only looked like they had dusted. What was an obvious change wasn't a big deal. The service was terrible and the food greasy. Very disappointing. However, it was my choice, so I lived with it. Desi was thrilled I couldn't blame him for the choice.
After dinner we drove to Dana Point to Brio to dance to the live band they have on the weekends. We, again, had a good time. Again too, we were noticed by several couples that commented on how good we looked together. I don't know why people feel the need to tell us that, but it is nice to hear. We do make a statement, probably because we are both tall.
I really wasn't myself. There have been so many things that have happened and are in the pipeline I am having a hard time being optimistic. Of course Desi pointed that out and said everything will be fine. Mr." glass half full". I am a "glass half empty" person and Desi said I "lost the glass." He maybe right. Might be time for a new glass.
We have a very strange relationship, if you can call it that When we first met we said things would only be casual. Since his work schedule and his being out of town most of the time deems it the only way it can be. I just need to enjoy the time we have together and stop being a "Gloomy Gussie. Being free to do what I want when I want is a big plus. Not having to take care of a man is an even bigger plus. Being able to go out with whom I choose is even better. We basically are at different spots in our lives and I need to remember that. I just need to get my life together and get back on track and I WILL!
So, with that being said, I have decided to adhere to the casual edict and go on with my life. When he is around he is around and when not, I"m free to do what I want. As he said, "you don't know, you may find someone that makes you "star struck." and say goodbye to me. Who knows he may very well be right .We decided we would keep seeing each other for fun until the fun goes away. He does drive , sometimes for four to five hours to take me out, so I should realize he really does want to see me and he says he likes me.
So, Veteran man texted me yesterday morning more then once, and then did the same today. Desi left about an hour before and I wasn't in any mood to talk to Veteran man about anything. I posed a couple questions to Desi that threw him....good. One was "what about retirement?" The second one was, "where do you see yourself ten years from now. Since Desi only lives the day for the day any thought of future plans threw him. Interesting? His answer to the second question was, on a hot beach with a cold beer." and probably living in Europe. Since he doesn't drink beer I find it an interesting semi plan.
Veteran man wanted to know today if I was okay and I answered "so, so." Between Desi being elusive and basically a pain in the butt, the up coming operation on my knee, and a situation coming up I need to handle, plus the fashion show, I'm in a foul mood and not fit company to talk to anyone.
Tomorrow I have an early appointment to help with the fashion show fittings at Cold Water Creek at the Mall. Then Veteran man has invited me to stop by to see his house that he just finished remodeling and then go to lunch. There is another text asking me if I'm better. Will answer it and sign off.
Hope every one's weekend was great.
