Oh, my friends, I said I would write more often as my life developed. However, that blessed ever changing present moment has caught up with me once more. Seems the State of North Carolina wants all of their tax money and the Bistro just doesn’t have it. The economy affects everyone!!! Anyway, the Bistro will be closing for good on the 1st of November, the kids leave for Europe on the 8th and I will once again be trying to figure out the next move.
As it stands, right now (and I say right now because one never knows!!) I will stay here while they are gone and try to figure out what is going on in my brain. Since I have not actually been by myself since Mike died, this will be the chance for me to try it. Luckily, I did not sign a lease for anything here. So, after they return, I will go to Bay Village and spend December with my son, Scotty, his family and my sisters. It will be nice to see them all again (and, hopefully, I can maintain my sense of humor while I am freezing my ___ off!!) Just another chapter for the book, I guess. Since I am (knock on wood) lucky enough to be healthy, basically happy, and have a great family and friends, I am sure things will just be fine. I though I was finished with Florida when Mike died, but perhaps not. I hate, hate, hate being cold; as you know, I also found I do not like the mountains and there was nothing about California that made me long to move there. O, it could be that I was wrong about being finished with Florida (after all, I hold the world’s record for being wrong).
So, if anyone knows anyone who might need an employee – older than the usual employee; however, able to work circles around younger employees and in great physical shape, please let me know. Will let you know, of course, what the next step is – as soon as I know – and will let you know how I actually am ALL ALONE, with the exception of 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 hamster. Thanks, as usual, for checking. Ricci
P. S. Today, (10/24/11), I played golf with two of the guys who come in for coffee, and had a great time. Both very nice men! Anyway, that was fun. Now, of course, I have to figure out my life. Well, one cannot say that my life is boring. The only problem is that when I get up in the morning, I think I am 30 – that is, of course, until I look in the mirror to put on my make-up. Then I can’t help wondering what happened to the person I thought I was when I got up. Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!! Next installment, soon, I promise, Ricci.
