The note said Suite June and aside from pictures of some appliances there wasn’t anything else to help identify what it was.
I knew something about it because I had additional information that added context but aside from me there were about three people who might have been able to figure it out.
Made me crazy looking at it because I kept seeing a typo and wanted to read it as Sweet June with the proper spelling.
Heck I made up a few stories for Sweet June that ranged from a barbecue joint, to a band to a woman who was tied to a Ford Taurus she couldn’t bring herself to trade in.
They seemed more interesting and entertaining than Suite June but that is not hard given the real story behind it.
I could monkey around a bit and give you the details on that front but I prefer to let you use your imagination as to what it could be.
So as one author said early on, “You kissed me first and that led to a brand new world.”
Did I mention that author never did sell any books or that she also wrote “A Tale Of The Angry Nipple and the Hose That Wouldn’t Fit.”
It reminds me that Amazon and self publishing have unleashed some awful stories upon the world because it made people who can’t write well think they had talent.
They didn’t and they don’t.

Blood Tests & Passports
The joy of getting older sometimes comes with a few more doctors in your life and so I have come to understand that I need two more blood tests.
Or so the note and call said.
I left a follow up message with the additional doc and asked if the blood work I did for my last visit with my PCP will work.
Haven’t heard back yet and so I find myself waiting to find out if I am going to be pricked or alternatively be a prick.
Actually I was told I was acting like a prick by a high school boy who didn’t think I heard him say something to the skinny boy standing next to him.
They were trying to impress a girl, all three of them standing over the bench press.
I had asked them if they were just hanging out or going to do some lifting.
They assured me they were going to start and went back to talking. I offered to work in while they figured things out and the youngster gave me attitude.
I turned to walk away and heard the invective.
“Do you really think she is going to be impressed by a boy who can’t grow a proper mustache and can’t bench his own weight.”
That stung him and I walked away, not impressed with him and less impressed with myself for speaking.
Granted I have grown progressively more irritated with entitled little boys who think they own the place and have generally walked away.
And by general I confess that I used biological warfare on one set of lads. I gave them a silent gift which made them cough and leave the area.
I knew better not to return for several minutes.
Can’t expect the young to be as mature as we like them to be but we can use experience to find other ways to motivate them to behave.
****
Got other news today that made think some more about the passport renewal and wrestled with whether superstition would allow action.
Ought to include that I am a believer in making my own luck as well as one who says that if some things are meant to be they will happen.
I have seen that time and time again.

What Comes Next
Some read between the lines and some go read the lines to figure out what comes next.
And so I find myself continuing to play some things by ear while considering whether to lean in and assert my influence.
Always cracks me up when someone suggests I just accept whatever is fed to me with no consideration of action.
There isn’t much that I just accept. Lack of action doesn’t mean acceptance, sometimes it means there are no better options.
I haven’t any problem advocating for myself or others when I see a need or reason to.
Does remind me that I am a bit tired of fighting some battles and dealing with some of the every day mishegoss that life throws at us.
Sometimes I’d like to be able to go back to 25 and have the energy and life experience that came with that.
But there is no saying that we can’t still do some of those things now and that we can take the life experience we have and apply it to new options and opportunities.
There is still so much joy to be had.
