Well, That Was an Interesting Aftermath.

So, I went back to Palm Springs on my birthday - and I was reminded that in February I should have decided on a bus in Houston not to head back as the housemate turned out to be untrustworthy and decided that getting back with his druggie boyfriend was just too important to pick me up from the Ontario Airport.

He said, he wanted to take me out for my birthday. I paid for it.

He complained he didn't see much of the druggie boyfriend while I was away.  I was surprised by that one.

While I was away, they only had sex once (I had daily sex with my date while I was with him.)

And when he DID come over he basically was passed out from a drug binge for 48 hours.

Oh what fun.

Then the roommate asked me to drive them to LA promising to pay for gas.  Yeah, I paid for it.  They couldn't even spring for a coke for me.  Too broke and too infatuated with each other.

Someone is not happy and commented about it.

Roommate's nose was out of joint, and he made it quite clear via text message.

So I ran errands in LA and learned my check was waiting in San Diego.  I wound up taking them back and I booked a ticket to SD to pick up the check and take care of a few things.

While in the Town and Country, roommate decided he didn't want to live with me anymore and I said, "Fine, I'll be by Monday to pick things up."

He then trash talks me.

I went to Palm Springs, attended to an eye doctor appointment, picked up my stuff and left.

His parting shot?  "I need $300 for utilities."  Note it was originally $250.

So, the dishonesty and lying are done.  I don't think he realizes he was cut off financially in the process as he did a $300 money beg yesterday.

So, what's next?

Well, Tijuana Pride is this weekend, so I will attend that.  Afterwards, I will plot my next move.

AND exact revenge.

Stay tuned.

Happy Third Anniversary

Of what?

Well, now that Shavout is over with this year, it is also marks three years since a self imposed period of not being serious about pursuing a relationship ended.

So where do things stand?

The person who I though was relationship material then is just a friend now.  I got involved with four guys and they have clarified what I want in terms of a relationship.  I guess what I want is a companion and a co conspirator.  I think I found someone who falls in that category.

I also know I don't want someone who thinks I am the money tree.  I got involved in one situation where that was how I was perceived and ultimately broke it off nicely.

So, what now?

I'm having adult conversations with someone about where our relationship is going and we shall see what happens.  I think we are both ready to go from him and I to we.

Details as they occur.

As I await laundry being done.

OK, the trip to Texas went very well. 

The date was great.  We saw my nephew graduate from college and went to the Van Gough exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.  In between the two events, we hung out, learned about video games, went shopping and explored various haunts from my sordid past.

And now the laundry is done, soo, more later.

Greetings from Houston TX

Yes, I'm back in Houston, TX again for the second time this year.

Why?  Well, remember that trip I told you about in May?  I'm taking it now and it has turned into an extended date.  Overall great experience.

It also means I should discuss something about this blog.  One of the things I decided when I first started this blog is that it would end should I get married again.  Guess what?  That may be in the cards. 

I'm definitely in love and the string of dates I have been is leading me to believe I may have met my next husband.  We see eye to eye on many things and I think I can work with his tragic flaw.

The date will end on Tuesday, but I am looking forward to the next one.

Fingers crossed.

The end of the Octave of Easter (or is that the beginning?)

This week we are reminded that East is East and West is West as our Orthodox brethren start their Octave of Easter as the Western brethren finish it up.

Anyway, dealing with someone who is unhappy that 1) his relationship may have ended and 2) no one wants to join his pity party (or help pay for it.)  Solution?  What else.  A depression nap.

At least I got work done.

And I got my driver license renewed

And life overall is as good as it gets.

And the trip to Texas is coming up.

The only other thing I am doing right now is pondering if I want to go to Florida to unearth the awful truth as to how I was financially screwed.

Stay tuned!

Happy Easter Tuesday

Sooooo, we got through Easter.  HOORAY!

Well, not quite.  We are in the Octave of Easter as we head toward Pentecost Sunday and I was reminded about one of Rick's favorite accusations.  I'm not Catholic but he always said, "Your better at being Catholic than I am."

Maybe but it has changed over the years.  This infidel has been blessed by Catholic priests as a grown up.  Once, this infidel concluded that someone figured out what is going on.  What happened was, I got the word that one of my Uncles was about to die.  I learned of it at 6:00 AM, got cleaned up and dressed, and went to the 7 AM weekday mass at Mission Dolores.  Afterwards, the priest gave me a special blessing as if he knew I was there for a reason.

The other really interesting Catholic experience I had was when Rick was giving the Anointing of the Sick.  It was just me, the priest and him.  I stepped out during confession, and stepped back in.  The interesting part is that although the church does workarounds I was brought up in the era where non Catholics cannot partake of communion in a Catholic church.

Which makes me stick out.

Anyway, enjoy your Octave of Easter.

First Quarter Update.

Well, we are about 3 1/2 months into 2019 and maybe it's time to check up on two things we noted at the end of 2018.

Lets first talk about things  where the jury was out at the end of the last year.

• I found out I cannot get on PreP because I flunked my blood test.  I have some kidney issues.
  
  I learned more about PreP than I ever wanted to when my housemate decided he wanted to go on it.  It seems the way I got evaluated was just not the way to go.  I DARED talk to my regular MD about it and that MD was in National City and not Hillcrest.  The PreP navigator was completely unglued that I would do something like that.  AND he just could not deal with the fact I have flunked my blood tests to take it.  That turned me off from considering it.  Did I mention I found out a 30 day supply retails for $2,000?
  
• I agreed to see if a relationship should be taken to the next level, which means I will be in Houston, TX at the end of January.
  
  The trip in January went well.  I'm going back in May as he will be my dream date to my nephew's graduation.  He's met my relatives, and there will be another round of that.  Should be a fun trip.  We are still dating, but have discussed marriage and what a life together would look like.

Resolutions for 2019

• Bill more hours
  
  Client is growing organically, so I am doing that already.
  
• Lose enough weight to go under the 200 lb barrier.
  
  Lost six pounds this quarter.  Need to lose more.
  
• Clean up my finances.
  
  Got a credit line increase and straightened a problem with the Franchise Tax Board out.

So, here is to the home stretch of Lent.  Have a blessed Holy Week.
