Valerie - a date.

Well it's good and it's bad.  And of course I focus on the bad.

Saturday around quarter 'til four she sends me a message about going to a comedy show that night.  Doors open at 7 and the show starts at 7:30, however, I read the message as it was taken by voice to text on my verizon voice mail.  It did say all that but then she went on to say something about her being there at 4:30 which she actually said 7:30.  So I called her back and got her voice mail and said, "It looks like you are already there so thanks for inviting me but looks like I can't make it."

Earlier that day JD asked me to feed his dogs because he was going on a Grand Canyon/Verde Valley train trip with Esther for his birthday.  I went over around 4:30 and as I was there looked at the message again and it didn't make sense so I listened to it.  Sure enough it said 7:30 where the voice to text converted it to 4:30.  I called her back and told her I had gotten it wrong and that I could attend.  She was at a birthday party for a friend of hers and did not answer so I left that message on her voice mail again.  I then texted her that I could make it and to disregard the first message.  Anyway she texted me back and we eventually talked and settled the details of when and where to meet.

On Saturday evenings/late afternoon I go to dinner with the 71 year old lesbian across the street.  She was really good friends with Wendy and they both helped each other through a lot of stuff liking watching each others' houses, doing stuff when the other was sick. She would watch Wendy's children when they were young. And she really helped us both when Wendy became really ill.  So I had to work that in.  I didn't want to cancel out on her because of Valerie.

We finally did meet at the show.  We talked a lot before the show and then went to restaurant/bar afterwords and talked some more. . .

To be continued.  I gotta get back to work.
