AS USUAL.........

My unpredictable Dez called yesterday afternoon and as usual announced that he wasn't making it back to California this week. The storms in Florida flooded his project and he was staying to see that things got back on schedule.  He said that finding pumps were a big problem.  He has changed his plane ticket three times, at some cost ,and is now planning on coming back next week. He did say he was going to try and stay in California through the month of June.  There is another project starting in Palm Springs that he has to begin and he will have to be out there. At least he is gainfully employed even though never available.  He did promise to take me out dancing two nights in a row and said he was being a good boy.  Like I believe that!

There is a project in Anaheim at Disneyland that he has been trying to keep up with from afar, and has to be back for a meeting next Thursday.  He said they weren't very pleased with his absence either, so I guess I'm not alone at being annoyed. So, another plan change and next week he will be here to see me Thursday and Friday.  Yeah right!  I'm beginning to feel like a sea captains wife.

The carpet cleaners showed up yesterday and flew through the house faster then a speeding bullet.  I've used this company for years and I do believe that they sold to another group.  I wasn't to happy with the result, plus they lied about the price, moving furniture and putting protectors under the furniture that they did move.  I won't be using them again. Next is the sprinkler man to adjust things as the gardeners don't seem to get the concept, then I'm done with all the house projects.

I take Mikee into the Vet today to get his annual check up...he will probably hide as he knows that something is afoot.  I got the carrier out last night and put it on top of the dining room table in hopes that he doesn't channel the idea that he will have to go into it.  That cat has ESP.

I talked to a man that lives in Walnut, California near San Francisco yesterday..  See another long distance guy in the group.  He is an EMT and a swimmer plus was a football player.  He's tall, dark and handsome, but of course younger, fifty five. To bad there isn't a tall dark and handsome older guy out there for me. He's never been married and his mother just passed away recently.  He was very involved taking care of her along with his sisters and another brother.  Anyway, we had a nice long talk and he said he wanted to chat again.  I think a lot of these men are just lonely and want to talk to someone.  He was extremely chatty and sounded nervous.  You would think at a certain age being nervous wouldn't be part of the equation. Did I mention he was Italian.

I've been staying home and trying to get things caught up around here.  I have also been reading more which I hadn't done for a while.  There have been two changes for the meetings for the Marine Corp Ball and I have other meetings I need to get to.  For some reason my iPhone has lost all of my appointments on my Calendar....I really need to back my appointments up with a hard copy at either an appointment book or on my computer.

Off to get ready to take my elusive cat to the Vet.
