how was your weekend?
mine
was pretty good
tho
there were some glitches
Saturday
I had planned to go with my sister
to
'meet'
a cat
I thought
I might
if the
connection
was there
adopt
huh?
what do I mean
by
connection?
Let me explain
we have had 4 cats in our lives
four times
a cat
has
chosen
me
animal lovers
know
how that works
well
in the end
I didn't get to meet him
there were some glitches
that may still get resolved
we'll see
Sunday
I went to meet my friends Judy and Larry for brunch
I took the subway
which
should
have
taken
all of 10-15 minutes
to get from 79th Street to 50th Street
but
of course
it didn't
I got to the station
just as a train
was leaving
another missed connection
the sign said
next local
would
be
along
in
12 minutes
after 7 minutes
an announcement
advised
we stand back from the edge of the platform the train was not stopping
the next train
would be along
in 6 minutes
I ended up exiting at 50th Street at 12:30
walked quickly to the restaurant
only
to
find
no one
there
just then
my phone beeped
two missed calls and a text from Judy
she was lost
had the wrong address
where was I?
turned out
she was only a block away
now it was 12:45
no sign of Larry
our reservation was for 12:30
Judy
texted and called
finally
he texted back
he wasn't feeling well
he had emailed her
to say
he wasn't coming
she hadn't gotten the email
more missed connections
anyway
we decided to have brunch
after
I walked
uptown
to the Flea Market
before
heading home
to
Toonman
who has a terrible cold
germs
he shared
I am now fighting
I hope
your
weekend
was more fulfilling
thanks coming along
Wow what a weekend! Hope you feel better soon and hope that a cat will tickle your fancy! Funny what you say about the subway because I always say they are faster but not my fave form of transportation. Hope today is a GREAT day for you !!
ReplyDeleteIs Mercury in retrograde? (I actually know nothing about this, except it's supposed to mess up communications).
ReplyDeleteLove the clematis (I think that's the flower).
And brunch counts. :)
that floral display is unusual and pretty
ReplyDeleteI know the connection, you can feel it
the animal does indeed choose you
I thought you might be considering a dog since Jack is so easy to get along with
no matter who you adopt they will be so lucky to have you
With an open heart, another animal will always find you. I hope the brunch and conversation was good.
ReplyDeleteA cold? Ack, feel better soon.
A kitty is coming your way. Soon. Feel better. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat was an eventful weekend. Hope both you and Toon Man are feeling better. x
ReplyDeleteWhoa.. you had a 'faye day' .... and you handled it better ..
ReplyDeleteI would still be rasser-frassing.
a little lemon and honey in three fingers of whiskey
and you will feel better in no time.....
Oh, hate that Toonman is sick, and I hope that's one more missed connection you have!
ReplyDeletehad a nice weekend here. sorry about your missed connections and the one you made with germs that you'd have been better off missing.
ReplyDeleteWell, my weekend was altogether more pleasant, I think. Last of my 11-day vacation, so just much napping and eating. We went to buy hardy mums and pumpkins to decorate our front stoop. Otherwise, many Zzzzzzzzzzz's.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo. Dislike the fact Toonman is sick...hope he feels better really quick!
ReplyDeleteMissed connections always make me think it just wasn't meant to be...albeit very frustrating!!
xoxoxox
Oh Daryl...what to even say. How frustrating.
ReplyDeleteGuess I am not alone with the cold bug. First one in 2 years, and it's a nasty one.
Head feels like a brick.
I sure hope you and Toonman are all better real soon.
Oh I do hope you make the 'kitty connection'! One will choose you soon!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you and Toonman are under the weather, sending get well wishes your way -
I live for weekends. Not that I hate my job, it's just that I love weekends that much. Mine was lovely. Today - NOT.
ReplyDeleteThat actually sounds like a good weekend. I was afraid you were stuck in the tunnel or something~ thank goodness for texts!
ReplyDeleteYes, cats find us. I got lucky again and it feels lucky every time, for we never see the connection, just feel it, then marvel as it unfolds and we realize that we have found the perfect fit. . . . Feel Better Toon Guy!

the colors in your photo are eye-popping. love it!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon wishes being sent to ToonMan
We have plenty of cats wandering around here if you want to take one or three home....
ReplyDeleteTake some lots of Vitamin C. I am a firm believer red wine fights off germs too. I am counting on it.
Wow that was some day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you & toonman feel better in no time!
Crazy day! I really do know what you mean about connections with cats...each of my cats and dogs have "found" me:)
ReplyDeleteI was in NYC for brunch Sunday too! My husband offered to drive two friends to their nephew's apartment in the city after the reunion in Westchester County....The nephew suggested brunch at Sarabeth's but we never did find it and ended up in Nice Martin. That was a missed connection that we didn't mind:)
I do hope you and Toonman feel well soon.
Missed connections are common in general, and sometimes technology makes them a bit easier to handle. I remember in the pre-cell phone days waiting for a friend at 'the entrance to Barnes and Noble'.....I thought there was only one....and she was waiting at the other....both of us left, thinking the other was a no-show....
ReplyDeleteOMG that was way too many missed connections all in the one day, what a shame Toonman's cold germs didn't have a missed connection!! Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteI know EXACTLY what you mean about how a cat chooses you.. though I have to admit, my two guys were just the only two available kittens from a particular litter and they're also perfect.
ReplyDeleteI hope you miss that cold connection.
Oh my, what a day! Hope you get to meet that kitty!
ReplyDeletei think there's a message there....those missed connections.
ReplyDeletei mean, i have no idea what exactly, but i do think you acknowledging them
means something.....
and oh how i would have loved to have gone to the flea market with you.
we missed all of our local ones this summer and now i have flea market envy.
Everything happens for a reason - we just don't always know what it is. When the time is exactly right, a fur baby will choose you for their forever "mom". Hope you are feeling better and have beaten that nasty cold.
