April Showers...

Hey there.

Great to hear from you! Sounds like you had a great weekend, complete with super weather. I'm glad you could take advantage of the weather and C's company to feel good.

So jealous of your weather, although we had a decent day yesterday—60 and sunny, but now we’re going to get rain and only be in the 50s for the next few days. M is my friend who was my partner in crime the day I met W. (He and I were just there a couple of weeks ago to visit her and J, the other friend I know through my lifelong friend/high school BFF J, who happens to be in Paris this week!) Now that you mention it, I may have called her something else so as not to confuse the first initial with my sister. I hope I’ve clarified rather than confused you thoroughly. Anyway, we had fun. It was just us, and her son, but he was mainly playing with neighborhood kids. We started out on the deck, then moved inside when it got a little chilly and it was time for dinner. Her grill wasn’t working so we ended up sautéing the shrimp for our Caesar salads. It was a perfect no-fuss, fresh and light meal. And it was nice to catch up with her.

Today is L’s birthday, and I had told her I’d drive down for dinner since her husband is away on business, but I have a f—ed up chest cold. I think the string of migraines I had last weekend and early last week came from sinus congestion, which ended up as on and off laryngitis late last week, and now has settled in my chest. I sound awful, although I don’t feel that bad. Still, driving an hour each way in the rain is not necessarily an attractive evening plan. I’ll see how the day feels a little later before deciding for sure whether or not to back out on her.

Good luck with M today. I’m still sending white light…

Love,
Barb
