YESTERDAY.............

I'm good to go for another three to five years.  The actual colonoscopy was a snap to get through, the prep is another story.  Ugh!  I awoke at five in the morning the day of the procedure and was suppose to drink more of that wretched liquid.  That didn't work at the hour in the morning.  Blah!  I just figured they'd have to deal and do whatever they could.  They found a few minor things, but all is fine.

My good friend drove up from South County, above and beyond the all of duty, to pick me up and schlep me to my appointment.  She came back to pick me up and we went to lunch.  I'm always glad to see her and we have a great connection.  It is nice to be able to talk to someone about anything without having them be judgemental. Some of it is our ages that are close, and the other is our personalities that mesh.  I'm forever greatfull to my husband who introduced me to she and her husband years ago, when he sold them a house. We have maintained a friendship ever since.

After lunch she dropped me off and I decided I better rest since Vet man was picking me up up to go to dinner that evening.  I couldn't sleep but did stay prone on the sofa.  Vet man showed up right on time, usually he is early, and we had a drink before we left the house.  He is so involved in the Elks and is working the Convention for six thousand people in the hospitality suite.  The suite isn't open to all, just about fifty or so people.  He asked me if I could help and I told him I would.  I'm not thrilled with wearing an Elk golf type shirt.  they are so ugly, at least on me.  I've never been a t-shirt person.

It is nice to go out with someone and have a decent conversation about a lot of things without worrying about being pawed to death afterwards.  He had turned into a good friend. At least on my end of it.  He just got back from the Caymans with his daughter and her friend and they had a great time.  He needed that break from some personal things and his job with the veterans at the hospital.

During the day I sent Bruno an email telling him I was finished with my icky procedure and he responded asking if we could do Saturday night instead of Friday.  Saturday is actually better as Friday is a nightmare on the freeways for him and he can get her earlier on Saturday.  He is changing out a wall plug for me and will get here a little earlier in the day.  I shot myself in the foot after our "dust up." The garbage disposal he was going to change for me ended up by me hiring a plumber that cost me a friggin fortune to have installed.

It is going to be Cinco d Mayo, at least I imagine they will celebrate it on Saturday not Friday, I told him that we should make reservations wherever it is we will be going.  He said I thought I would like La Cave better then the Elks, how right he was, and that is where we will be headed Saturday night.

La Cave has a DJ spinning top 40's, 80's and 90's music.  La Cave also has the best food.  The restaurant has been there since the sixties and it is in the basement of a building.  You take an elevator down to the place.  I'm hoping things go alright.  Bruno and I have had our moments as of late, although he did come down and take me to lunch last week.

Tonight I'm headed for the Elks for a meeting and tomorrow I have dinner plans with an ex-neighbor of mine.  She and I have remained friends for over thirty five years. So today I'm headed out to do errands and see someone that is in the hospital before I go to my meeting.

The week is pretty much planned.
