The Day Was ON!

It started with a bang! Got my stitches out and my Doc asked me about my boyfriend. I told him we broke up months ago and he asked why. And I told him that he just didn't get my personality and was too jealous. He told me he knows a couple of Kiwani's (?) that would be perfect for me. He suggested I join because "with a personality like yours, you won't be single long". What a sweetheart! A dreamer, but a sweetheart nonetheless.

I then headed to CVS for moisturizer. Walked past a group of men in their late 60's/early 70's drinking coffee in front of the coffee shop. Got my stuff, came back by, got Coffee and joined them!

What a group! All retired, most Vets and just a frakking kick in the pants. They were surprised that I sat down with them but I try not to let opportunities like this pass me by...especially lately. They apologized for being so outspoken, but I laughed and said that I wouldn't have it any other way...and I can dish it as well as take it. They just cracked up! The wealth of knowledge and the stories was just incredible! They gave me a bad time for being single and joked around about me being difficult. I said that just because they weren't men enough to handle me gives them no reason to be haters! That did it.... They were rolling! God, that was so fun!

Jen did my nails and they look fab! I love seeing her. She is a special friend and she took great care of my kitty when my kitty died. I don't know what I would've done without her.

I got one of the nicest compliments of my life. My new friend said "Well, if I be the beholder and I be holding you, then you're gorgeous, on a scale between breathtaking and devastating. And no arguments here - just feel good about the fact that I think that you rock it." I really needed that compliment and I'll tell you why shortly.

I got a little lunch and proceeded to get waxed, cuz my Doc said it was ok. My waxer Shayna is awesome. Great personality and she always remembers what we talked about before...even though I know she has a lot of customers.

I then headed to Trader Joes and picked up some wine and stuff for my soup and headed home. I worked on my kitchen and vacuumed. Then I cracked open a bottle of wine. But as each moment gets closer to tomorrow, I get more emotional and antsy.

I really need someone here to hold me and tell me it will be ok. That I'll get thru tomorrow ok and that my future without my friend is bearable. I got a call from my Boy but I didn't let on about my emotional state. He doesn't need that. But it helped to talk to him. He's doing well and I'm a proud Mom!

So, I keep reading my text from my friend and it's helping. I'm just on the edge. I don't want to be one of those huge criers tomorrow. I just want to soak up the good things I'll hear about him. No, he wasn't a saint and I know that. But I want to leave this on a good note.

No worries peeps... Things will get back to normal.
