I have been reminded by one of the Aussie members that she had not seen anything from me in a number of weeks.
I have actually picked myself up and been out and about with many new friends.
A trans friend introduced me to a nice GG who I get on well with. She and I recently went to the local museum to see an exhibition of the The Terracotta Warriors. This was pretty impressive.
Her company was very easy and I asked her to go to the ballet this Friday. A first for me. I hope I like it.
The weekend before I attended a Stitch lunch at a pub in our vineyard area. There was about 30 guests and we all had great food service. I was lucky enough to sit next to a woman who I immediately connected with. I said to her after about five minutes "we are going to be good friends" We just get each other. We had lunch this Saturday and she invited me to her birthday party on Sunday to meet the family. Apparently Jayne was singing my praises to her 95 year old mother who then wanted to meet me.
The 3 sons were all around the 30's and two of them were gay. I had a really relaxed and fun time with everyone. The only down side was the house was so cold. The A/C was making very little impact.
I hate being cold.
I did notice all the guys had kept their jackets on. I didn't think to take a coat as we were going to be inside.
A number of the ladies I know have been calling to find out how I am after a brief visit to the ER. I had been exercising at the gym and experienced sever chest pain. I just could not take a full breath. Rather than go home and just suck it up I went to the ER which was only 3 minutes away.
I spent the next 9 hours hooked up to wires and having blood tests. They found nothing conclusive and I still have to go for a CATC scan next week. I can't be that bad or I would have had it sooner.
The only up side of having chest pains is that you get priority over everyone else in the waiting room and there were a lot of people before me.
Tomorrow is a long day for me as I am sitting (or lying down) while I get a tattoo I have been told it will take about six hours.
If it looks as good as the drawing I will post a picture.
