Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

D-Day

D-day is coming in three weeks. That stands for date-day. I haven't been out on a date since last Spring and now I'm going out on a another one. How time flies. It seems like the date from Hell was just yesterday.

This is a blind date arranged by mutual friends. They have been trying to find a husband for me for the past 8 years. I appreciate their efforts, but needless to say since I'm still single, their efforts have not been met with success. They're going with me on the date, a rule that I have for all blind dates, so if it is a complete disaster, I'll have back-up. I wonder how many other women my age insist on chaperones?

Being the optimist that I am, I'm sure that this date will be a disaster. The only question is in what way will it be a disaster. Will I hate him or will he hate me or scariest of all, will we like each other? I have major commitment issues. My life will be simpler and I won't have to face my issues if the date goes badly. It's not entirely an accident that I'm still single. I wonder what kind of shrink coverage my insurance has?

You can do it, he may be great--or a great friend. I am wishing you the best of times--no matter how he turns out.

So that I don't forget anything, I'll keep my notebook out and take notes. My camera will be handy too. Do you think that he'll think I'm odd?

You're such a good writer, maybe you should try romancing by email first. ;)

Good luck, girl.

I wish that were possible. I'm better on paper than I am in real life. He's shy too, I'm told, so at least we will both be struggling.

I hope that the restaurant has flattering lighting. I don't want him to know, right away, that I'm older than him. :)
