I had a very interesting evening last night. The blind date that Anna set up for me turned out not to be creepy at all but a sort of gentleman. Apart from being a little forward with his kissing, he was a perfect man of culture and class. He called to set up our next date this afternoon! *squee* We're going to get dinner on Friday night. I wonder what I should wear. We're not going to be ... having too much fun, so a LBD might be over doing it. Hrmm, maybe just a nice blouse and skirt, a royal blue and white combination maybe!

On another note, I had the phone call with the banker who wants my services. He indeed knew my dad, he was a finance manager at the Welsh embassy before seizing the opportunity in the banking field. He's hiring me as a sort of favor I guess to my dad, supposedly keeping me safe from the other scrupulous characters that might be looking at my services. Gosh, what is it with men and thinking I can't take care of myself? I am a big girl, I passed the training at the academy like everyone else, and I've been learning martial arts for the past few years!

Oh well, the money he's paying me to be his body guard for the week is enough to pay for three months worth of rent, so I could not exactly complain too much. I just hope I do not have to hear too many stories about him and dad from "the good ol days". I get enough of that when I call them every month, don't need it from their old friends!

Today was weird. While having lunch, some strange man in a fancy coat and trousers joined me for a few minutes. He had the quietest of voices but the look that this man had just said that he had seen some very odd and potentially disturbing things. Thankfully he was friendly enough, asked me about my work and how I liked it. I explained that while it had its downs, mostly due to the clientele, I still felt like I was making a difference. I could not tell if he found that comforting or amusing or what. The man was so hard to read and he did not leave me his name either!

Tomorrow night is my date! I decided on this to be my outfit for the date. I'll probably match it with a faux fur coat. I love the texture of fur but I just can't fathom the indecencies the animals have to suffer for it. So synthetic for me!

Oh look at the time, it's nearly eleven, better get to bed so I can enjoy tomorrow evening!

So, it's been a few days since I updated this! I have a bit to say to! My date was fantastic and I am definitely looking forward to the third next Friday! If Jamey plays his cards right, there will be many a happy endings for the both of us. I invited him back to my place, I should be done with my work by then and can cook him a hand made dinner. Add some candles and some incense and I think the mood will be perfect for a romantic evening between us. I want it to work, I like him, he's a nice guys and there is not too many of those out there. I want to keep ahold of the one that has fallen into my lap.

Speaking of not nice gentlemen, I broke up a mugging last night. Three men were attacking a fourth, small man. The victim looked no older than twenty, but he was bloodied and bruised. However, I interfered right before the knives came out. I sure am glad that I am in as good shape as I am and have been keeping up on my martial arts training. While it was tense, I managed to disarm and subdue all three of the men. After making sure that the victim knew how to get to the local hospital, I called Anna and gave her a heads up on the incapacitated would be burglars before making myself scarce.

I liked it to be honest, I did some actual good last night and not just some potential good in the job I do. I think I might start patrolling the streets at night. I need to get a flashlight and some plastic cuff ties, but with my skills, I could do a little more good like I did last night. Or maybe I am just foolish, but it's still something to hope for!

This week has been such a chore, this banker likes to talk about himself way too much. The money is barely worth having to hear himself brag and show off his wealth. I swear I want to facedesk every time he begins one of his tales about his extravagance. Thankfully, today was the last day and I safely saw him through airport security and to his aircraft before he was departing this side of the Atlantic.

I'm starting to cook for Jamison. He's going to be in for a treat! I'm making home made chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta, home made breadsticks, a ceaser salad, and cheesecake for dessert. It's a treat for a man who has been nothing but kind and considerate and so very ... oh dreamy. Everything that a woman should be wanting at this stage of her life.

Hrmm... someone is knocking at the door. It's too ear....

It's never easy is it? Life will never let you have what you want, will never let it just be as simple as one two three. I'm alive, but some times I wonder if a part of me did not die in that warehouse. I'm not trying to be negative, but so many things feel different now, foreign. It's almost like I've become a stranger in a strange land, lost in a brave new world.

By now you've heard of the attack and abduction. If you are following this blog, it will be easy for you to put two and two together. I've moved, with the help of Jamison, to a new and hopefully more secure location. I might have even become a bit paranoid because of that night, I'm now using proxies to access the web to avoid normal detection through tracking IPs and ISPs. I might have this blog, but I still want my privacy.

I don't know where to go from here, professionally or personally. The doctors are saying I am healing decently, better than they had hoped for. They are talking about maybe even re diagnosing my odds, but I don't want to get my hopes up only to be crushed. I quit taking any jobs as well, luckily I've had enough saved to survive for a few months without any pressing need to take the odd job or two.

Jamey is there for me though, which I am thankful for. Beyond that, there is a cloud... somewhere though, there has to be a silver lining, I just need to start looking for it.
