It has been very strange not hearing from Dez for a week he has been totally "off the grid." He usually either calls, texts or emails. None of those happened. Finally an explanation. Seems since the tornadoes in Alabama the power has been out for most. FEMA is taking all the building supplies and according to Dez commercial projects are the last in line. Plus power is not restored to cell towers etc. He also said he had purchased a new laptop and things weren't working properly. At least that's his excuse and he is sticking to it. He said that he had lost half his crew as they went home to put their houses back together. Per Dez, understandable. He said he would be home soon....that could be in another week or more since his son's baby is still thinking about coming out in this cold cruel world. Everyone is sitting on pins and needles waiting for this baby which is the first for his youngest son and his wife. Dez has been busy putting out fires. When you run your own business it is a twenty four seven job.
Tuesday night I got home at eleven from the meeting. It was long, boring and I sat there wondering how the hell I ended up sitting in Santa Ana at the Elks which is a long way away from my previous life in Beverly Hills and places in L.A.and Santa Monica. Living behind the "Orange Curtain" (that is what Dez calls it) wasn't my idea of a place to end up. I suppose it could be worse. I could still be living in Ohio or worse yet Nebraska or some God forsaken place like that.
I did go to another movie today. My girlfriend and I went to see Chimpanzee which was very well done and a sweet documentary by Disney. I certainly enjoyed it more then Hunger Games. We had lunch at Opah first and after the movie went shopping at Stein Mart and TJ MAXX......never one to miss an opportunity to shop. I didn't buy anything at Stein Mart and one dress at TJ MAXX. Probably didn't need that but it was a color block Calvin Kline and cheap.
The weather is strange. Hot, cold, rainy, sunny....you name it we have it all in the same day. If it had been still I would have said earthquake weather.
Tomorrow I'm packing for my sojourn to Ontario and the Hilton Hotel for the convention I'm co chairing for the State President of the Emblem Club. I'll be glad when it is over. I finished the forty two center pieces, made the star wand entrance pieces and now it is a matter of setting things up and getting everything ready.
I found out that I'll be able to come home the next morning at 11:00 a.m. I had this horrible thought I'd be stuck there until that evening but I found out that isn't the case.\\
Home tomorrow.
