FRIDAY IS HERE.....

Last night, Thursday, Vet man came to the house to pick me up and take me to a meeting in Santa Ana.  Thank God he did. I would have been totally lost in that area.  We had a hard time finding the building we needed.  He parked the car and there were lots of people milling around.  I thought perhaps they were just GQ public, but we found out they were the homeless that camped out in that area.  It is so sad to see so many people without a roof over their head.  You would think in this great country we would address the problem and do something about it.  I know a lot of them have mental problems but somewhere there should be help for them. Had I gone alone I would have been totally freaked out.  I would have gone the wrong way right in between them all.  so many of them were yelling and cursing and acting crazy one never knows what might transpire.    Vet man was very protective and kept asking if I was okay. I was, but very glad he was there.

Vet man really did go above the call of duty.  He had a really bad cold and had spent the day trying to get better.  I gave him a cup of tea with lemon when he came to pick me up and he said that made him feel better.  The poor guy was coming back to pick me up at 9:00 p.m. which turned out to be 9:30 as things ran longer then expected.  So there he was standing out in the cold waiting for me. I really owe him one and I just hope it didn't make him sicker

He still wasn't feeling well and I just got out of the car when we arrived and went in the house so he could get himself home. Vet man was leaving early this morning to go to Burbank to a Veterans meeting and then going to a Dodger game.  If nothing else he keeps busy and then some.

I had a text from Dez yesterday about him coming down today.  My house has the tendency to literally start falling apart on its on.  Weeks ago I had two towel bars just fall off the wall.  Interesting since one of them is never used and is only for decorative towels.  Dez tried to fix it when we got back from Palm Desert but the screw was stripped and he said he would fix it when he came back. Since he is so busy and his mind is certainly on other things other then fixing my towels bars, I thought I better remind him to bring his little bag of tricks when he came down. This morning I replied to his arrival time text asking him to remember to bring his tools and his reply is "will do."  We'll see.

The text I had from him this morning said he would be arriving around 5ish today.  The weather is iffy.  They have predicted rain, hail, tornadoes....right now it is sunny.  Crazy weather.  Although I think that the Valleys and the Mountains will get the extreme weather.  Orange County is a lot milder and San Diego milder yet.

So depending if the Gods of weather keep smiling, he may or may not be here around 5ish.  It is Friday and it will be a two to three and a half hour drive from Beverly Hills, which is ridiculous since it is only forty five miles away. Ah, California freeways. He has to leave for Blythe to bid a job in the morning...a real garden spot...NOT!

The other person I heard from is a Huntington Beach man that wants to have lunch next week.  I find it interesting that the minute I returned to a dating site the men that I had gone out with before came back.  Everyone seems to be having their own problems and are just now surfacing.  Jobs, family, and various other things have kept everyone off the radar, me included.

Have a good weekend, I'll see how things go with Dez.
