Yes, you’re right. I used to be very good at ignoring people but since I haven’t been around people for a very long time, I’ve lost the art. I do believe it’s time to bring it back into play. Thanks for the reminder!
It’s hard to believe that I’m going to spend part of today and tomorrow with people I love instead of having to settle for a phone call. I’m sure Charlie will call tomorrow, and FD, of course, but there are five Other Folks that I’ll get to see. It will seem odd, after all these years (33 years?) of just me. No wonder I worked the holidays!
It’s going to be “warm” but overcast today!

Yes, what a big change! Try to be nice to yourself ;-).
The sun is coming up here, and it looks like the temperature is above freezing. We have choir this morning.

Merry Christmas, Jet and NtI!
So good to hear from you both, at this special time of year!
May the next two days (at least!) be “merry and bright!”

Yes, it will be a big change, but this morning, I decided I’m going to wear my bunny slippers to the get-together to remind me to be clam and enjoy myself and ignore everything that is an all-joy sucker.
I’ll just look at the stupid faces on the silly things and take heart in knowing I’m in control! Not to mention, I found a T-shirt with a Nativity scene in gold and the inscription over it says, “Come, let us adore him.” So I’m wearing that over a red turtleneck. And Kermit leggings because they’re red and green!
As I was reading the temps in other parts of the country, I saw that your day(s) will be similar to mine. We’re not that far apart!
The shower has been had, and I need to finish my letter to Charlie, then sort pills. Then I can do what I want until it’s time to leave.

Underground storm shelters (even if only a section of conduit or old water tank with a breathing tube) is a must in that part of the country.

It would certainly make me feel better to have an underground shelter, but rental properties don’t do things like that. However, I figure when my Time on Earth is up, it won’t really matter which way I die. I need to take that Final Step, no matter what!

What kind of livestock do you own, Z?
Just curious, and if you feel it’s invasive, just tell me. It’s OK!
