Date Four - By Accident

This past week has been a bummer.  I can't say it any plainer.  You reach a certain point where you don't think you can continue to put one foot in front of the other.  And then you pray, again, but this time you are serious.  God, please don't leave me here in the place.  And I don't mean just Jasper. So he doesn't.  Instead he makes you pick up the phone and call a friend.  Someone you don't know too well, but think you would like to know. And, she's the answer to your prayer.  Someone who will listen without judgement.  I spent the day with my new friend and had a great time.  We hung out at the pool where I met new people who live in my neighborhood. People with their own teeth and no walkers.  Including a new attorney in the neighborhood.  My friend and I planned to do dinner later and watch the fireworks. Both of us finding new ways to look at our somewhat of a plight, living in this pretty but small town of Jasper.  I went home to shower and head over to her house to cook and ride her kaboto thing to the fireworks.  I noticed a message  on my phone and another friend had called to invite us to their tent for dinner and drinks. Getting better and better. While talking she said that she'd heard there was a new single attorney in our neighborhood. I said "Yes, I met him".  You can't do anything in this neighborhood without it making the rounds.  Well, to make a long story short, "Guess who got a good night kiss from the attorney?" My new friend says I must buy new lingerie at Victoria's Secret and practice my flirting skills .  Both of which she says quite frankly are worn out.  I on the other hand am off to the races!
