BLOOD GROUPS
A post on taking blood took me back to many tests in hospital and being convince evil Dr Eva from Eastern Europe was secretly a vampire siphoning off buckets of my blood for personal use. I also remembered the enormoooose Anti D vaccine stuck up my butt after giving birth, nurses have sadistic tendencies perhaps?
BLOOD GROUPS
SURE TO BE NEGATIVE,
YES A RHESUS NEGATIVE MONKEY,
POLLUTED BY A POSITIVE,
PRODUCING B POSITIVE FORCES OF RELIABLE BLOOD.
ANTI D VACCINE IN HER BUTTOCK,
INTENDED TO REDUCE NEXT ILLS,
BUT A FRUITLESS NAGGY JAG,
REDUCED BELIEF IN THE PRESCRIBED CATHETER BAG.
THE CHILD BORN OF POSITIVE GROUP,
SEEMS OF HAPPY NATURE,
THE ANTIDOTE TO HERSELF AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OF FAILURE.
THE REVITALIFT AND RETINOL A WILL HAVE TO THINGS IMPROVE,
AT LEAST DEAL WITH LONG CURLING LASHES, WRINKLES,
SOULESS CHICKEN SOUP.
AND WHERE FORE ART GROUP O?
OH T`IS HIDDEN NOW FOR SURE.
WITH SLIGHT ATTITUDE PROBLEM,
HEART THAT`S LESS THAN PURE.
POSITIVE FEELINGS OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT,
TO WASH THEIR SINS AWAY,
FOCUSING TIRED EYES OF IMPAIRED SIGHT
ON HER LABOUR DAY.

OKAY, THE PARTY'S OVER!
After celebrating GEMINI for a solid week, finally the parties are over. It was great fun, but I'm exhausted and looking forward to hitting the road in two more days, sitting on the Greyhound for a day and half and just relaxing, watching the world go by.
We started out last Friday at my friend's with a small partyette for her boyfriend Eugenio and me, both Geminis. We wanted to have a larger party at our favorite bistro but the lead musician was away so we settled on a small gathering with invitations sent out for the gala on June 7.
My actual birth date was June 3. That day I stayed home alone and had a quiet evening, made a Greek dinner, opened a nice bottle of wine, and listened to some excellent music on the radio while I dined. Two days after the my girlfriend came into town and we went out to a local Greek taverna for dinner. Beforehand we sat at my place and drank the delicious mead she'd bought on our weekend away last month. We're old pals and it was a lovely evening just the two of us.
Then yesterday was the Grand Finale at the Latin Quarter. I'd momentarily had some trepiditions about how it as going to work out when I found there were a lot of cancellations so I had to reduce the number of seats we'd reserved. On top of it, one of my long-time Gemini girlfriends, who I've always celebrated our birthdays with, opted to invite along her own friends and reserved a separate table. It all seemed very strange to me, but I accepted it as an inevitable change in our lives as lately we seem to be going separate ways. It did raise a lot of questions at the LQ where people are used to seeing us together. Anyway, it all worked out. She and her friends are suburbanites. Me and my friends (who I've dubbed "The Ensemble" are the regulars, the "Drive" people (our area of town which has a bohemian flavor). We meet every week to listen to jazz and to dance salsa to the excellent Latin music at the LQ. We all had fun, regardless, and I needn't have worried about lack of guests as lots came, mainly all the regulars who knew it was my birthday celebration. There was good food and much merriment and lots of dancing.
So today, I'm partied out. As Porky Pig used to say "Bdeea Bdeea Bdeea That's all folks!"
Now I'm resting. And packing. On Tuesday morning I head for the California sunshine, out of this cold, rainy weather of the north coast. I'll tuck a couple of books in my back-pack, some cross-word puzzles, hope to heck I can get the stupid mp3 player to work properly (duh...more technology I'm unfamiliar with)
and off I go. I've even packed my swim suit and sun screen!
