A birthday without... me

With whom is she going out for her birthday? Not with me... Will I send her flowers?

The Widow from Sarepta in a new mini-skirt

Accompanied Sugeil to pick up tomorrow's tamales. Told me about her round with her grandmother and how she had been helped building her failed bussines. Haven't I helped her? Didn't I give her my time and money when she began selling food?

Last thursday I lend Sugeil my shoulder so she could cry...

My Abuelita's Corner

Talked to her a while ago, she wasn't very happy. Haven't had a good first business day.

The Pyramid

Went to Meztitla for the weekend. I'm so stupid, get lost several times! In the highway she used her most tender tone to talk to my "tocayo", I recall that later she told me he was very kind with her, though —of course!— interested in her.

She also told me that our friendship has never been proved, id est: if proved, it had failed.

Her skin... Splendid! Like that of a farm girl.

A couple of hours ago she hugged me, thanked me, and skimmed me from about 300 pesos worth of fruit and chicharrón.

Last saturday we went to Interlomas and quarreled as usual. On Sunday, we took the kids to the movies, to see Kung-Fu Panda.

Didn't know how to write about it...

And as I'm here, im writing as fast as I can.

Last week Blanca told me about "Tony?"; married, Ricardo's friend..., just for sex, not giving Sugeil anything for her birthday, etc.  Saturday, while driving to Estela's and Jorge's party, told me about Rubén(!) and a moment later I heard her speaking to him.

A couple of days later, Blanca told me about an "ace in her sleeve".

Well.  I still have all of the Eternity to think about Sugeil.

Tamales

Send them yesterday, saw her the day before, making them. She was wearing her french poodle look.

Demi-sleep in the garden

Hours after my previous post, I saw her returning to her home. It was past 2 o'clock by the morning.

About cellphones and cookware

A few minutes ago I saw her leaving to... somewhere.  Last week I saw a lot of her, even felt some intimacy.  But this not knowing is destroying me.  As if I could be destroyed!

Thirdsday before last, she told me that since that february about me breaking with her she started having doubts.  She said she did'n think I loved her because did nothing for her.

Who gave her that new cellphone?

A grey and black sweater..., or jersey.

Saw her. She asked me for a list, was wearing a gray jersey of mine. Told me she'll be in Pachuca for the weekend. With whom? Where, exactly? I kissed her right cheek.

She called me

Last Saturday, Sugeil called me. I asked her why she didn't greeted me for my birthday. Said this wasn't my phone-call. Also told me that El Chino kept on phoning her, perhaps because he thought that she was involved with someone in Central de Abasto.

Atlantis

Saw you in a blue new dress...

You were my Atlantis, in your cataclysm you sucked me the deepest into the Ocean of Time, my fragments lay scattered all over the continents.

Even more sad not-news...

Saw her las thursday

What was I waiting for?

Unnintended alliteration....

She didn't even call for my birthday, and haven't seen her all week long.  Is she mad at me?  Is it that she just forgot?

Gods...

51

Last Friday we went to La Feria de Chapultepec, yesterday I helped her with a taquiza.  It occurs to me that I never got to dance with her, but surely she has danced with someone since... Perhaps —nigh!, almost sure— with the guy she went with to that Briseiswise wedding.

Today I'm fifty-one.

Assault

Yesterday Sugeil was mugged, bought her chocolates.

Today we woke up early, me to the garden, she... ¿who knows?

Obsession

I actually saw her with someone. Haven't the slightest idea if he is meaninfull to her, but I felt like dying.

A week ago was her mother's birthday. Yesterday she called me for best Valentine wishes. Can't stop thinking of her.

Going out for the weekend

Sugeil called me about a telephone plug.  I went to her and learn she wasn't going to be there from Friday on...

What's in a miniskirt?

Or in a pair of boots...?  Or in asking me for a sheet of foil...?
