Years ago, when I worked in another state, one of our secretaries, a vibrant, beautiful young woman, fell in love with one of the other workers, a handsome, charismatic young man. They made a cute couple; I can't remember if they got married, but they moved in together and were expecting a child. My family offered them some furniture we could to without. I really hoped this young woman had found true happiness for her life. I'm always looking for a 'Cinderella' story!
Awhile later (remember this is an old story and my memory for time lines is diminishing), they separated and the man was the first person in that state to be imprisoned for intentionally passing on HIV...to several women.
Needless to say, this young woman died of Aids before her daughter entered kindergarten. I wonder about that young girl now; where is she, what is she doing, is she well?
What brought this up, you ask? I was watching NCIS about a similar case. Only my experience wasn't on TV. It was Real Life. It was Tragic.

Miserable
Upon checking, the humidity in River city is 78%, while here in GJ it is 63%, but I have never felt so miserable. The temperature is higher and the only cooler on most buildings is a Swamp Cooler! Are they nuts?!?!? Yes, resounding yes!!!! Some lucky homes have HVAC, but when you rent cheap....maybe I should be thankful? for the swamp cooler. It just doesn't do any good. It's even more moist inside my house than outside. Any more and it could be raining in here, I think.
I never remember there being a "Monsoon" season when I lived here before. Is this a weather pattern that has changed? Weird.
And as to miserable:
No money, consequently no gas in car to go anywhere.
No socialization..have no close friends, only acquaintances here.
No calls from friends, either.
Could do a project at home but I'm stuck at spots where I need money for supplies
SO feeling sorry for myself and hate getting old and frumpy.
And to end on positives:
I could call a friend
I could do a home project such as cleaning that doesn't take money
I did go for a walk..and took a shower afterward. Then applied wonderfully scented bath powder. At least my perspiration smells good.
