...And then there were two

Get to the point: Mess has left to bigger and better things. He's been talking about moving and finally got all his ducks in a row and then he left.

Mess is a great friend that I will miss a lot. I guess he also gets what he wants just as I do.

So it's just me and Hush Puppy. Mess is not easily replaceable. I just wonder if we'll have somebody that will out Mess Mess.

We went out for our monthly get together last weekend. And we just talked and had a great dinner at Luby's. Mess likes it for his fish he always orders.

Birthday Boy

This Aussie hunk turns 43 today. What can I say but he's drop dead gorgeous. So far I have not seen a bad film with him in it.

Birthday Boy

Happy 52nd Birthday, yesterday for Simon Cowell. He is definitely a hottie for me. He was the main reason I watch American Idol.

Sorry that I was unable to get a better picture, otherwise I would have used a better pic.

Wish you Were Here

Yep. I tripped again today and I have to send everyone pics of my latest adventure.

So there I was walking home after a fabulous meal at Manhatten. Traffic was so bad I actually didn't jay walk. So I'm walking through a parking lot. Don't know how it happened, it just did.

I landed on both knees and fell toward my left side and even got to scrape my left elbow. And I slid a bit before I was through. I tried to get up but then I got a cramp in both legs.

I couldn't get up so easily as I had before. I used my cane to help me get up and eventually got on my feet and slowly walked the longest block ever to get home.

Sad but true. My dinner was starting to come up but I was able to wait until I got home to throw up part of dinner. Then I started to come back to earth.

Women who Lunch

HP came over to check his email today. So he did some stuff and then we decided to do lunch. I mentioned the Oasis and how they're a great restaurant.

The Wednesday special is chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. It was fabulous. HP actually ordered the enchiladas also. He's kinda adventurous and loved the mole sauce.

We came back to do some more surfing and he helped me order my Aetna card. And he checked out the porn that I share with him.

So today was a great day. Niece D and husband Larry drove over to Mess's apartment to get a futon for my home. No problem whatsoever today. I also got some quick picks for the lotto. I must win so I can buy a condo. And what Chiflado wants, Chiflado gets.

The Incedent

So there I was at Blanco one Saturday morning. My routine is to go have chilaquiles and coffee.

So my waitress topped my coffee and started to go back to the counter. Out of the blue she screamed at me. This was in Spanish. The coffee is bad for me. And that I drink too much of it.

Of course no manager was around. So I'm boycotting Blanco for a while. I'll go with friends, but I'll decide which restaurant I want for my alone time.

Chif out.

Recommendation

I'm kinda staying away from the Blanco Cafe because of the incident. Turns out there's a restaurant downstairs I'd never used. Actually I did get some breakfast tacos and they were delicious.

El Oasis is a small restaurant with maybe about 20 tables or so. The service is good and the food out of this world. I had chilaquiles the other day and today I had the green enchiladas.

I used to see a lot of people going in for lunch and now I know why. I definitely recommend this restaurant. They're at 323 N Main.

Chif out.

Blues

I stayed in bed most of the day.

Birthday Boy

OMG!!!!! Johnny Mathis is 76 years young. Me and Johnny go way back. I had like 30 of his albums at one point. Yeah, I also found him attractive.

Nice Weather

We're having some nice weather. In the mornings I turn off the A/C and open a window to enjoy a fabulous breeze. Wonder how long this will last.

Nothing going on here. JL is scampering back and forth here. The other day when we had thunder, he left the comfort of his wing back chair and ran to to hide under the bed.

Just sitting here waiting for lunch.

Mental Health Day

Thursday I went to my therapist. I've become so dependable on her. I talked about the usual things. I have moved on in my mental health. I do pretend that I'm okay just to keep people what I really feel.

So I'm sitting in my chair and we talked about Jean Luc's manicure. She had said it's better to do that when they're still kittens. The older the cat, the more it might be used to his claws and de-clawing might be more traumatising for the cat. But JL came through with flying colours.

He's doing well. I forgot, the reason I wrote this. My therapist noticed that I had no scratches any more. Sorry about the rambling.

Chif out.

Recommendation

Ice cream ice cream, we all scream for ice cream. I hadn't had ice cream in quite a while, so I went to that aisle.

I was able to find only one of this flavour and I highly recommend it. It's Blue Bell of course and it is vanilla pudding completely with wafers. It was only a pint and it disappeared quickly.

Of course ever since I found it I haven't seen it since. But I will keep on looking for this.

Chif out.

Still Moody

I've been thinking a lot about me lately. I guess I'm letting the depression get to me. I just spent a week and a half in bed over this.

I'm going with the who am I? and why am I still here. I should have been dead by now, but I'm still here. I remember my roll over accident in Michigan. I hit a patch of black ice and turned over about two maybe three times.

I wound up strapped to the seat belt I could not get out of. I looked around to see things. My phone and gym bag were on the passenger side along with bakery goodies I got for Steve and me. I had just had a great yoga workout and I think between the that and the seat belt, I survived.

And there were paramedics, but I didn't need them. I only had a small cut in my left palms.

They say there's a reason why people survive such incidents. So, why did I survive? Who knows. Had I gone to the hospital, I would have found out about my HIV status sooner.

So here I am. What's next for me? There was the bathroom incident, another survival. I hope I'm okay for what life throws my way. Bring it on Baby.

Chif out.

Birthday Boy

Happy 27 Birthday to Prince Harry Windsor. Okay, he's also a hunk.

JL Update

My baby's doing great. He's almost back to his normal self, especially when he gets in a manic mood and starts running all over the place. The one regret about his manicure is that I should have done it earlier. He's calmed out and he's not biting yet. 

For some reason, ya'll have been asking about him, but what about me? If anybody cares to know, I'm doing a whole lot better. 

Also, I will not be able to go to the camp out after all. I'm still recuperating and Mess is busy with his movie and HP has to work. I so wanted to go and see if the guys I met at the last one were there. It does help if you get a phone or email address. Too bad...for them.

1 day to the camp out.

Under the Weather

I've been under the weather for the past week. I have actually slept threw most of last week. HP came over and I slept while he played on the computer.
I did ask him to bring chicken soup from Blanco. And it was so good. Almost as good as mine.

Still not feeling well. So far it hasn't happened but I expect a miracle to get back in the swing things. For now it's a lot of water and I will go get some DVDs to keep me company.

Chif out.

4 days until the camp out.

Jean Luc

My little one is doing great. He's been drinking a lot of water and almost back to normal as can be on his kitty chow.

So far, he's more docile than before. As a matter of fact, he fell asleep in my lap the other day in a weird position. But he still keeps it kind of slow. He's in his chair right now grooming away after he hit the kibble. Correction: he's asleep after all that hoopla.

I caught him on the window sill laying around doing nothing. He likes to look out the window and watch the world go by. So far no bites yet. I wonder if his biting went paw in paw together. Anyways, he's here and looking fabulous.

14 days until the camp out.

Labs

Went to the clinic for lab results. Everything is great. My t-cell count is 170 and I'm still undetectable. Kidneys, blood pressure normal. Liver in a great place also.

Usually I waste about an hour just in waiting. But I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Dr M also is adding his meds to my home delivery. Don't know if I blogged it, but Humana offered to mail out all my meds for three months at a time, rather than the usual week or so. As soon as I get all these meds come in, I will check with Aetna to see if they have a similar plan.

Chif out.

15 days until the infamous camp out.

Birthday Babe

Happy 62nd Birthday Richard Gere. 62? OMG!!! The guy is a major Babe. I wonder if I can hump with him.

16 Days until the camp out.

Follow Up

I picked JL and brought him back home. He's still under the weather. I was supposed to take of his bandages. Pobrecito he couldn't run away. But I finally got them off and he started grooming himself. That's a good sign.

He's still trying to get used to walking. But he's okay. I do carry him to his bowl for food and drink. Then I carry him to the litter box in case he's that disoriented.

He was purring in a low register, but purr away. He's a little better this morning. He's lying in his favorite sunshine right now. We'll see what today brings.

Chif out.

20 days until the next camp out.
