6/11/25  Things Are Looking Better

I have to say, I’m having another stellar week. So far, not one single no-show—knock on wood. Mostly wonderful guys, many of whom I hope to see again.

I looked back at some of my recent blogs about moving to St. Louis, and I realize I’ve had a bit of a bad attitude—but also, I’ve had some genuinely bad experiences. This week feels more normal. I’m getting fewer calls overall, but the quality of those calls is better. Even a few young guys showed up today! And once again, I’m being tipped multiple times a day, which is such a nice surprise. That was not the norm in Kansas City.

Speaking of Kansas City, I plan to go back July 10–12 and stay near Worlds of Fun. I’ll only be seeing repeat customers—absolutely no newbies. I’m hoping there’s enough interest to make the trip worthwhile. I also need to see my sons and my ex while I’m there.

I feel like I’m really starting to settle into St. Louis. I’ve already had a couple of repeat clients, and my house is simply lovely—so much crisper and more elegant than what I had in Kansas City.

I’m still very glad I moved back. I had dinner with my sister the other night and then visited with her at my house afterward. It was so nice just to be with her and know I’m not heading home 4½ hours away. We’re planning to get together for bingo and hopefully spend some time at her pool this summer.

My oldest sister isn’t really involving herself in my life, but I didn’t expect that she would. It is what it is. At least we recognize each other as sisters.

All that said, I do still miss Kansas City. I miss a few people there, some friends in Topeka, and my family. But all in all, I know I’m better off being here.
