Day 22, no makeup

So that's not a good photo at all but it's what I looked like on day 22 so there you go.  

I had my third date with Edward, another one hour coffee date by the water and it was really nice.  I like these baby steps.  No pressure, no expectations, just nice.  And a kiss or two possibly.  Maybe three.  Anyway who's counting?  Well me but still... And I did have on makeup when I went so I didn't look like this for goodness sakes!  I have no earthly idea where this path will take me and right now it doesn't matter, it's fun and whatever it becomes or doesn't become I shall enjoy the ride.

One thing I thought was cute, he had been working on the renovation of one of his condos and when he pulled up I was already there and he got out and changed his shirt into a nice one rather than have me see the work shirt.  He only had an hour because there were electrical inspectors there and he had to get back for that.  Honestly that was enough time.  No rush.

Then I came home and sat by the pool for a bit and talked to the mayor about condo business and went up and had a bite of lunch and then off to Dr. Pinsky's office for my  second facial.  Three are included with the procedure.  I showed the photo from the last time and it was normal.  Some swelling and some discoloration is expected.

So I guess I'll wrap this up by saying I didn't really Miss-bee-have too much.  Yet.  Possibly.  The End.

I did really good at canasta yesterday, I won a good bit actually, almost fourteen bucks!  It was my first time at the club and around any of these gals and they were really complimentary of the facelift.  It was nice to be out with them again.  Most of them have had facial (and other) work done so they understand.

Then I got a call (or three) from dear Edward and I am meeting him today for date #3.  Not sure where yet, he's going to be able to get away from his work for about ninety minutes and we are going to just have something to drink again and talk.  He says baby steps.  Anyway he's going to call this morning and tell me where to meet him.  I might get another kiss too. Well I will.  For sure actually.  He is smitten.  But baby steps.

Then this afternoon I have another facial massage.  I took a photo of my eye when it was swollen and discolored (it's already better) so she can see what happened.  I think it was just a bit rough or something, not sure.  Anyway I do still have fluid and some swelling and the massage is necessary I know.  It'll be good soon.

Three and a half weeks until cruise time!  And by then I will be discharged to swim in the pool and workout in the gym.  I am so looking forward to that!

Oh, I saw Andre' yesterday at the club.  He acted like he didn't know who I was, it was funny.  It was good to see him.  

So that's it, that's all I know.  It's Friday.  Have a great one and you sure know I will too.  Come back tomorrow and I'll possibly kiss and tell.  We'll see...

Today I am playing canasta with my old game as a fill in as they are short a player and I am free.  Hopefully I'll find someone to have lunch with there as well and I might see Andre' in passing.

Yesterday I sat at the pool in the shade talking to my BFFs and enjoying being outside and then I came upstairs and Steve and Jane had my condo sparkling clean, he change the water filter in the fridge and the burned out lightbulb in the bathroom that I can't reach.  They are amazing.  Truly.

Then there were three calls from Edward and multiple texts.  He was working from morning till night but still managed to do that for me and to tell my how much he enjoyed our second date.  So far so good but no promises surely.  Like he says "baby steps" and that's the best way to go.  I do want the duck and the mayor to meet him though so I will know if it's just me that thinks he's so great.

When I got up yesterday morning I had a swollen and black right eye.  I think it's from all the facial massage I had and perhaps she was a bit too rough.  I took a photo of it to show her when I go back on Friday to see what she says.  I don't know what else it could have been as I didn't injure myself in any way.

Have a fabulous Thursday y'all.  I will too I know, win or lose I'll be out with friends having some laughs.

So okay if you don't want to know about yesterday please skip this paragraph.  You have been warned.  And if you are one of my children DO NOT read this.  I mean it.  I see you.  So here's what happened.  I went for my facial massage and then we met at Starbucks to talk.  We took a walk.  He kissed me a good one and I said "I wanted my socks knocked off, not my panties" in my head and outloud I said that was lovely and he said I am never going to stop kissing you (with his eyes) and outloud he said mmmm.  He is a very good kisser.  He told me a good bit more about himself and it's all good.  He is working very hard renovating some condos he bought to flip them but we will see each other again.  No promises but it's looking good so far.  I think I can have him meet the mayor now for his opinion and the duck soon too.  Maybe. Stay tuned.  Oh, and I now have a photo of him but he asked me not to put it online so I agreed.

Okay if you are just joining me welcome to Wednesday in my world.  My Mahjong game got canceled because several of the gals have company but I am playing canasta Thursday and then on Friday I go back to Dr. Pinsky again.

Today I plan on going to the pool for my half hour of heaven and then because the people I call Steve and Jane because that's their names will be here spiffing up the condo.

Poker didn't go too good for me but I didn't lose bad, just lost a bit.  

Have a great Prince Spaghetti day y'all.  I will too.  For sure.  And yes, I guess you could say I mis-bee-haved yesterday.  (Insert smile here.)

I have my second date with Edward today.  I have Dr. Pinsky in the morning and then I am meeting him at Starbucks again for coffee and chatting.  We'll see how it goes this time and if the stars align I might get that first kiss but not sure yet.  It would be a parking lot kiss I suppose.  Or maybe next time.  I'll let you know though, you know I will.  There is no rush.  And for gosh sakes don't worry!  I am fine I promise! And for those of you that think he wants money, well I don't (nice car, nice clothes, etc.) but if he does he's not getting it so again, don't worry.

Yesterday I went to the pool and then I went with Ryan to walk a dog in Ibis (well Ryan walked a dog, I waited in the car), that's a big beautiful development that I had never been in before.  Then we went to some thrift store and walked around and found him a nice (really nice) lamp for his condo.  He has most of his furniture but wants a few more pieces to finish it.  It's really lovely. Oh, and he said he didn't like GGF so he's my BFF instead.

Then I have poker tonight.  I hope to win too!  Hope your day is lovely.  Mine will be, I have high hopes for it!

Day 17

Macaroons for Passover Seder

So first of all I know y'all want to know what is happening on the Edward front.  Well he called several times and we texted some.  He is sweet and charming but I am not getting all excited because I have been let down before by a German slug.  I think Edward is not like that but it shall be determined.  I am smart and will not fall for someone too fast.  Smitten is okay though.  We are going to have another date in the next few days when we decide, probably Tuesday afternoon fit between Dr. Pinsky and poker somewhere.  And again in a public place.  It's difficult between my calendar and his work.

The Seder was lovely last night and the food delicious, the company charming.  I am so lucky to have such great people in my life, really.

Today the calendar is empty but I have a good bit of stuff to do around here plus I want to go to the pool again for a while.  Sheets of course, I am still washing them all the time.  I don't mind, it's easy to do and I love clean sheets anyway. There is still a bit of draining going on, I see it in the morning when I get up, it's on the sheets, not bad, but still some. I am going to take a walk too.

And that, my dears, is my world for today.  What about yours?

Happy Easter y'all.  I'll be celebrating mine at a Seder tonight instead but it's all good.  I believe there is just one God and he loves us all no matter what we eat today and I love that I am invited to the mayor's for this family tradition.  The governor will be there too and the rest are their family members.  I am making macaroons dipped in chocolate to take.

Edward will be home tonight too but I don't know when we are getting together again as yet.  And for those of you that are worrying about me, please don't.   I am very careful and I have many people looking out for me here.  And as for that German that you commented on, he was not a good person and he's outta' here.  I don't have time, patience, or effort to deal with someone's baggage and lies.  Nope.  

Also I live in a gated community where I have to call in the person to the guard gate and then when they get there their Driver's License is checked against their name on my list so they are for sure who they say they are.  Then there is the doorman downstairs.  Then the mayor and the governor.  That is if I ever let anyone come here in the first place so please don't worry about me.  But I truly thank you for your concern.

And remember, I'm not doing anything I wouldn't tell you or my children.  Maybe.  Have a great day.  I will too for sure.

All external stitches and staples are gone.  It didn't hurt a bit either.  I was a little afraid because the last time hurt a good bit but that was the eyes and I guess that's more sensitive, anyway no pain at all.  Then I came home and sat out by the pool for my half hour, all alone, then I had a WONDERFUL shampoo.  I mean I have washed my hair every day but you really couldn't get it all with all that hardware around so that felt amazing.

Then I got a call from Edward and we chatted a good while.  He is in Orlando until Sunday night with his friends.  I asked him if he was having a good time and he said there were sixteen of them and there was way too much booze and he would rather a smaller group and less drinking but yes, he was enjoying being with them. He's very sweet and the accent is really nice but who knows?  No rush.  No kissing. It's nice getting to know someone though.  

Oh, I have been cleared to drink now.  I haven't yet but now I can have a cocktail if I want.  Still nothing else though.

Then I had a short nap and another call from Edward.  He's getting to be quite the little flirt I must say, anyway that was another hour.  Finally he said he had to go see his friends and I told him to have a lovely time and I'd talk to him another time.  Then he told me to text him later.  I don't have a photo of him or I'd show you.  I'll get one for you though.  He's not really what I would call handsome but very sexy looking, bald, not really tall, built very nice, athletic, 62 years old.

Are you tired of hearing about him yet?  Kidding!

So that was my day my dear friends.  Hope yours was as interesting as mine was, if so you were very lucky indeed!  But I am not really MissBeeHavin'.  Yet.

Two weeks exactly

I am to get out the rest of the stitches today and the staples and screws.  Nothing hurts at all.  I would do it again in a heartbeat.  There is still bumpy swelling especially under my chin but they assure me that will disappear. The face is also not shaped exactly how it will end up either.  One side is still swollen a bit more than the other.  All normal they say. My eyes are still dry.  That shall pass too in time.

So I have been getting some really sweet calls from this new guy that I call Edward because that's his name.  When he gets back we'll get together again.  Remember I don't kiss on the first or second date so don't worry yet. (Insert smile here.)

Last night Pilobolus put on an amazing show.  Very sensual dance, very little clothing, very amazing dancing.  I completely enjoyed it as did Ryan.

Well that's it from my world.  I hope to start reading blogs again soon.  I really have blurry vision and it's hard still.  But I still love y'all!  Have a great Friday.  I will too for sure!

Me and Ryan, my GGF

Tonight we are going to the Kravitz Center and to get a bite to eat first.  I scored some (free) fantastic seats and he's up for most anything I can drag him out to!  Love this guy.  And I love getting dressed up and going out too.

So my date of the other day is leaving town for four days for the Easter holiday so we'll have to see if anything happens next week on that front.  Either way it's all good.  I liked him but if it is not meant to be then it just won't and if it is, well then we'll see what happens next.  He has called and texted me though.  He seems pretty nice.

D#1 leaves for home early this morning and her teeth are just beautiful.  She still is not finished but it's much closer and TCD has done an amazing job as always.

I haven't slept well for a few nights because my eyes are very dry. Very very dry actually.  I have natural tears for all day but at night I have a salve and it's not enough.  I have to ask Dr. Pinsky about it tomorrow when I go back to have the rest of the stitches and the staples removed.  But actually that is my ONLY problem.  And still some swelling of course but that will take a few more weeks.

Have a wonderful Thursday y'all.  I will too even if I will lose my D#1.
