Hi, Turtle Folk,
Judy, isn't it great to be able to spend some time with your daughter? Some of my best times have been going for walks with my family. Especially if there is just me and one of my guys. Then they talk to me. We have great conversations and I'm hoping to have a few of those when they're here during Christmas vacation.
Hope your WI is as good as you expect.
Lauren, your reminders of party planning strategies are very welcome. Since I don't attend meetings, those reports that you all give us of meeting topics are especially helpful.
If you must fly me to Michigan, do it in the spring or fall! This California hothouse flower doesn't appreciate extremes in temperature!
What you should do is come here and enjoy some of that mild golden California weather. I'll cook. I promise!
If we don't hear from you, remember we are thinking of you. Have a great holiday with your family.
I managed to walk yesterday. The sun came out and it turned out to be great weather for a walk. Not today. It's cloudy and freezing. At least it feels like it's freezing. I'm staying OP and will get some activity in because I have a bunch of cleaning to do, too.
You all have been so great about letting me vent about my mother. When I can vent, I don't get too stressed out and add to the chaos. My mother thinks we're close. Which I find absolutely hilarious. She hasn't a clue. If she could really hear what I say to her, we could be close. But that would require that she change her expectation that someday I will take my proper place and become a clone of her. Not gonna happen! I like myself the way I am, thank you very much. The absurd thing about her thinking a daughter is a clone of her mother is that she has three sisters and none of the four of them is anything like my grandmother! I'm closer to being like my grandmother was than any of them are!!
Well, time to go do some of that cleaning I must do this morning.
Talk with you all later.
Happy turtlin'!
