saturday comes, its a beautiful day out about 87 degrees. L is working and i have no plans at all no dates no appts nothing..sheeesh! so after breakfast i take a walk to Margereths place to visit and look through her books. im having a good time goofing around with the office girls and margereth. in comes some new girls and i chat with them awhile , one of them likes me im getting eyeballed up and down and lots of smiles. in comes Ricardo , boy this place is getting busy lots of activity.
margereth invites me to come over around 3:00 she is having a open house and has invited lots of girls to come by. let me tell you i have been to margereths open houses before if she invites you ...go cause there is always a ton of girls.i accept of course! well that solves my problem of nothing to do today. well lets see i have about two hours to kill before the open house, think i'll catch a cab to chpi for a quick cup of cappuccino and watch the parade of beauties.
i go outside and flag a cab, i jump in the back seat and all the sudden pain shoots up my right side and down my right leg! i jump out of the cab i reach back behind me about belt level and pull a bic fine point ink pen out of my a....ah lower back! blood starts pouring out. i run inside and show the bloody pen to Ricardo , he calls Margereth . she says drop em..i do , and she applies alcohol and cloth. of course the ladies are all standing around watching this and taking it all in. Ricardo and i get in a cab and we're off to the clinic. the doc cleans the wound , applies medication and bandage, gives me a tetnus shot and some pills and we are on our way back to the north side.
my a...ah lower back is sore , and im in no mood for a open house at this point so i go back to Ricardos and do absolutely nothing. at this point and time i dont want to talk to anyone and im beginning to wonder what the hell im doing here in cali. did this really happen did i really just get a ink pen jabbed in my a..ah lower back? ! this is not my idea of a vacation. i think back to the movie, the one with Billy Crystal where he's being dragged by a horse and he's yelling " i'm on vacation " thats how i felt at this point. im really starting to get down now the only thing that keeps me up is knowing that tomorrow i will see L and her son and we have plans for another movie and lunch. i go to bed early sore a..lower back and all....sheeesh!
