I Was Invisible

This week is going to go fast. Thank God! I hope I see Joyce at the gym so I can invite her to my party.

I didn’t see Joyce at the gym.

I arrived at the gym early today (6:30PM). I had a good workout, too. Rick appeared first. Then Janette arrived…then Mark Landreth, then his brother, Phil and then Steve Green. After my workout I went outside and saw Julie and we talked for a while. Julie accompanied me to Alpha-Beta. Some big body-building jerk, David, came out and started to talk to Julie. It was as if I was invisible.
David says, “You ought to come to that party on Friday night.”
This body-builder guy probably thought I’d get scared and run-off at the sight of him. I remained natural without uttering a word. Julie eventually left with me over to Alpha-Beta. We had a nice talk together. It sounds like she’s ‘for sure’ coming to my Birthday party with about three of her girlfriends. That’ll be fun. I’m scared and excited at the same time.

Steve telephoned just as I was falling asleep.

I called Denise and she invited me to dinner tomorrow night.

I called Amy and we had a nice talk…I guess. She’s coming to my party.
Amy asked, “Is it okay if I bring some other people?”
I replied, “Sure…the more the merrier!”

Today I had lunch alone at Carl’s Jr. Margaret had an appointment with Metro Life Insurance.

There are still no openings at Pacific Bell Directory that are worth looking into. Time will tell…I guess.

I am thinking of Paloma in Paris. I wish she could come to my Birthday party. I miss her. Let’s see…who’s going to be at my party? Rachelle, Julie, Amy, Paige, Nici, Suzy, Bonni…Yikes!
