TIME FLIES..........

Well it is Thursday and this week went by in a flash.  Since I can barely remember what I had for breakfast I need to check my schedule on my Iphone to remember what has gone on the last three days.  Monday I had lunch with someone that again turned into being a dud and an inappropriate idiot.  I really do think I'm done with trying to find someone to replace Bruno.  Even though he is never around when he is it is great and when someone finds me I compare and they never measure up.  So until the "bloom is off the rose" with Bruno, for one or the other of us, I will continue to just make him number one.

Monday I also had an eyelash appointment.  I find that eye lash extensions beat false eyelashes and using mascara.  The only problem is to keep them looking nice you have to go in for a refill every two weeks.  Since I hardly ever go to the beauty salon to have my hair done I figure this is a luxury that I can justify.

My technician texted me saying that she had to cancel the above appointment as she twisted her ankle in a Triathlon up North on her bike.  Oh joy!  Another reason not to compete in boy things. So the lashes had to wait until she found another time to work me in. She really does work hard and starts her day at 6:00 a.m.

Tuesday I was planning on staying home all day and getting some things done, which I did until Vet man called and asked me to come to the Elks that evening for a meeting.  I was sort of thinking about going to the regular meeting but decided I wasn't going out of the house as the weather has been horrible....hot and humid.  I did drive over around 5:30, stayed for the meeting, had one drink and decided to go home and not attend.  It is a long meeting and night and getting home at 10:00 p.m. didn't appeal to me.

Bruno called me on Tuesday morning.  He was in Las Vegas, which wasn't a place I expected him to be.  He had been in Maryland but had gotten a call from his friend who was in Shanghai.  There was a restaurant at one of the hotel casinos in Las Vegas that had a kitchen that flooded and needed new equipment and this man couldn't get there to supervise the fix.  He asked Bruno to get a crew up there and fix it and since this could be a huge account encompassing China, France and points wherever, Bruno agreed.  He is doing the Downtown Disney restaurant for him.  Bruno sounded exhausted and explained that he and his crew had been working all night for almost a week and hopefully would be done Thursday.  He said he would be coming back next week, but again, I never count on anything.  He may very well be going to China to supervise the restaurant going in there so where that leaves us is up in the air, or maybe just done.  It is day by day.

Late Tuesday night I had a text from my technician for my eyelashes and she said she could take me at 8:00 a.m. that next morning, Wednesday.  I agreed.  After keeping the appointment I drove home for twenty minutes, then left to go to a Dr. appointment.  Nothing special, just a six month tune up. I'm due for a Mammogram and blood tests.

After that appointment I was meeting a girlfriend who also had a Dr. appointment.  She was delayed a little and I had a chance to stop at a Home Consignment store.  I wanted to find out about selling a couple of chairs and a large ottoman I have that turns into a single bed.  She called when she was done and I drove down to her house.  They are doing extensive backyard work and it is going to be beautiful when it is finished.  Fireplace, bar, outside t.v., fountain, etc.  Can't wait to see it done.

They had also redone the upstairs baths and reconfigured the layout.  I thought it made more sense and updated that bath into a lovely en suite area.  I worked for the builder that built that house and it would be a wonderful idea if they could see what my friends did to the bath.  Never happen, but I personally thought it a great improvement, and much more updated.

After we went through the house she and I left to have lunch at Opah, which is always good.  There are two of these restaurants that I know of and this one in Aliso Viejo is a lot busier then the one near me.  After lunch I drove he home and left to go back to my house and finish some ironing and straighten things up. 

Vet man was coming over after a County meeting.  He was a lot later then I though he would be and didn't arrive until 8:30.  It is so miserably hot and after the day I had I was rally tired.  We had a couple of drinks, talked a bit and he left.  He is always amused by me for some reason and calls me "mayhem." He knows all about Bruno and I think he likes to hear the latest. Vet man is always very flattering and I should be pleased that he thinks I'm so wonderful.  I do think he really knows better.

So, today is Thursday.  Watered the plants, straightened things up a round the house and tonight at 5:30 another Marine Corp Ball meeting.  I will be so glad when this whole thing is over in November.  Of course then it is the Exit for the State President of Hawaii/California coming up that I'm on several committees.  I was voted in unbeknown to me.

Lu Sin Da signing off.
