Ten More Days To My Birthday

Man what a day yesterday. Got to work and there were five new intakes waiting on me to process but the good news was my boss was leaving on vacation and we have a free week to ourselves. Even better I’ll be on vacation next week myself so I won’t see her for two weeks. YEAH! I’m going to Atlanta and S.C. It will be a working vacation but I’ll find time to relax as well. I’m also looking forward to finally meeting MAC. Plus it will be a new change of men for the publication as most of the men have been from the Texas and Louisiana area. However the publication is growing and soon I can afford to hire some free lance guys to do photo shoots in other areas.

Well it’s been well over a week since I drop info in here. The 4th of July was good. Messed up my week though but all good. Went out with a friend to the movies that day and had a wonderful time. Saw fantastic four. The next two days were busy at work as I received 10 more intakes over that two day period. I’m averaging twenty a week now so it’s really getting ridiculous. Saturday I worked on the project all day. Was a long day for sure but I made some good head way. Was suppose to meet my date later Saturday night as well but ended up moving it to Sunday which worked out best for us. It was a lovely evening for sure. I really enjoyed showing him the city since he’s from out of town. He left this morning on a plane back to Maine. He also gave me some good leads on entertainer in his area for the publication. Went to see my father Sunday morning and he’s doing wonderful. They don’t want him to walk just yet as he’s still having some issues with healing on the foot after the amputation. However he’s still getting up and doing things, which is a good sign. Doctors say he’s healing nicely. He was sitting outside when I arrives so I joined him out there. It was nice and windy at first but later on started getting kind of warm for me. My father is old school and use to working in the heat so he felt fine. Plus it gets like of cold to him in the rehab center. We visited for about two hours and then I needed to get home to work on the project some more. He’s allowed to have a four hour pass and told my mother that he wished I had taken him home for a bit. It didn’t piss me off but he never asked me to do that. So next time I’ll take him on an outing since we’re not even five minutes away from him.

I got a letter from Jeff this weekend as well. The first one I received from him in two weeks. I was under the impression he was pissed at me after my last letter to him. I wasn’t so easy on him but I guess he got over that. Still I don’t know what he expects of me as we’re not a couple and I don’t see a future there for us now. Once he’s convicted he will have a record and it’s really going to be hard on him to find a decent job as I’m surely not going to take care of him. I believe a man should work and two should work together to build a comfortable life for each other. He couldn’t do that for me or us for all that matters. Just to many bad memories in that relationship. Then again I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to the relationship. Still I wouldn’t have gone into it but he was pursuing me. Now that he’s behind bars all of the sudden he’s starting to say the things I want to hear. An hour short and a dollar late. However the bad part is no one knows what his sentence will be. He could get anything from five to life and they can be stacked that as well since there are three counts that really could hurt him. My biggest fear for him is, if his mother passes he has no one since his family members other than his mother has been supportive of him or gone to see him. The other thing is he’s always been there for him when they needed him but when this comes about now he’s the black sheep of the family. They all don’t want anything to do with him. I know there is no excuse for what he’s done but there will be consequences from it. I won’t stop being his friend over it but I know how far to take it as I did work for the prison system for fifteen years so I have learned a few things or two. I do feel sorry for him and what he’s got to go through and endure as well. One would say I still have feeling for him and I can say I do but one doesn’t stop loving someone as deeply as I loved him. Well enough of that. I think I’ve caught up for the week here so until fingers meet keys all have a good one and have a great week a head.
