October Surprise(s)

Arkansas Critter

                                                                                                                                                    So yeah, It's been a while since I did a blog post. About a month ago is more like it. I always seem to have things in my life that get in the way of things I want to do. The beginning of the month of October I helped my friend Dave W. from work with moving. I drove his truck down to where he retired to in Arkansas, he left earlier in the morning with a U-haul. This is the same Dave W. that I had a bit of a man crush on for quite a long time. He was a very difficult guy to get to know. He doesn't open easily and is a very private man. It took me about 5 years to even get invited into his house. After he retired I didn't tell him how I feel about him. I don't think he's that interested in guys the way I am. 

Dave says he has many women he knows around the country and goes on bike rides with. And in his new home in Arkansas, he has a neighbor lady he said friended on F/B.                                       

            Dave W. Just Friends, Not Partners Also a big surprise in October , my sister that lives in Brazil got into a nasty car crash on a dark rain-slicked road. She told me she was driving, a thing fell from an overhead bin. It knocked off her glasses, she reached down to get them from the floor board. When she sat back up, a vehicle was stopped ahead of her and hit it doing 45mph (70kmh). The crash through her on the passenger side floor. But not before Beth hit her head on the windshield. She suffered a concussion and was seeing double, throwing up, etc. her female partner was P/Oed. Told my sister to get out ASAP and wouldn't take her to a hospital. It took more than a couple of days to find out she is OK and she might stay in Brazil after all. Now she says she needs $2000 to pay the deductible of the so-called Brazilian car insurance. All of this drama has more than took the wind out of my sails about flying to Brazil and visit my sister.                                     And of course work always being work wanted me to work a lot more hours. The past month I worked about 55to 60 hours a week. So not much me time. I'd still like to do a blog post at least once a week, I just need the discipline myself and do it.
