Fae sorry I missed you back in the day! My hippie stomping grounds were the East Bay area and the Russian River. Finger pianos, now I hadn’t thought of them in decades

I have great memories of the Russian River also!! I learned to swim in it(swimming lessons each summer at Memorial Beach) That was the only place I went swimming really with the exception to the creek behind our property and to go wading in the ocean at Little River. I am pretty sure you are talking about the part of the river closer to the ocean, like in Guerneville and Cazadero. It is so beautiful over there. I have spent many weeks at Cazadero at the Baptist camp- even got "sheltered in place" there last year because of the fires. It is so peaceful over there. East bay is close to us.
I will have to check out that show- we have Hallmark but haven't seen it yet.

Top of the morning, peeps! It's Thursday here.



I am so grateful for my "walking neighbor" - we are each other's therapists, lol. I couldn't have been blessed with a better person to spend an hour or so with each day, plus burn a few calories at the same time. She's going to be gone most of next week and I miss her already.

That's it for now. Doggies wanting out. It's frosty out there.

Make it a good day, ladies!

I feel the same way about my neighbor/friend- Getting out of the house and walking/talking for an hour the past few days has been great. We didn't see much of each other for quite a long time but are back getting out again- she is my Zumba buddy(she invited me and it was great until they closed down-we both stopped exercising when it did)

In Brighton and Hove the accepted thing is to put a lighted pumpkin outside if you want callers. Otherwise people don't knock.
I don't know what the kids are doing this year. They may just stick to families they know.
We could put some pumpkin lights up and put a bowl of sweets outside. The kids are so polite around here, I have to tell them to take more than one. I think we will probably just hide and turn the front lights off.

Debbie - we had a great year reunion last year. Amazing to see everyone. I am in very close touch with three from school and Zoom them fortnightly. Otherwise it is occasional emails to a few and Christmas cards, with the rare meet up. Nice to know they are there though.

Must do my tax tomorrow. Deadline 31st October.

Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Fae - I think I watched the first season of "The Last Ship" - will see if it's still available and add it to my list. Thanks for the reminder!

@Snowflake1968 thanks for your understanding. glad all testing is free.

@Suzi glad you are enjoying the busyness of work. I'm so sorry about your molar. Why do they think they had more broken teeth this year?
thanks for your understanding. I like working at this place (I like the student population very much for the most part) but I did think about quitting for a moment. the management is very suave and smiley but pretty horrible in terms of worker's rights. it's a horrible time to look for work. At 57 it's not so easy. I have 3 jobs that don't pay well, but are rather secure, relatively speaking.

is there any of you who are not fans of your family of origin.
I used to find mine OKAY.
now I just don't like to hear from them.

I know that sounds cold, but it's after years of meanness on their side.
I feel bad when they contact me.
and over years with less and less contact, I don't even feel much concerned about them. an aunt passed away. we used to stay with them for a week in summers as kids (granted, 40+ years ago) as they would trade off kids for a week or two every year, no doubt to have some adult time or down time. but even then she was not warm, though not particularly mean. but seing her maybe 1h every 10 years does not a relationship make.

and my sister NEVER gets in touch except maybe every few years when really going through something difficult. she'll call, when there is a natural disaster or something.

it's hard for me to feel anything when there is simply no real connection and not simple pleasantness.

I don't know that bloodline is that important. I used to think so, or more precisely I felt bound by our past experience which was at least partly pleasant, (growing up playing) but at present they just seem like a bad past friend I need to keep as far away from me as possible. they were possibly a good friend in the past, but are not anymore.

it is wise to look at what is and not what was.

it's sad, but I think it's better to get space and be a bit lonely than to be with people who are regularly mean.

what a horrible choice to have to make.
I still have some colleagues who are very nice and some friends too. I don't see them or talk to them each every day, but nor to I family.

I think life happens when just doing things. And with colleagues just interacting with on another regularly we discover one another. some who were formal and distant some years ago, we speak together with more warmth and trust as time goes by.

one of my colleagues yelled at me today and I asked her to speak calmly or said I'd come back in 5 minutes, so she was able to calm down and talk things out. I was glad to be able to just say that and she was able to hear it and calm down. she thought I was blaming her but in fact I was upset about something else. (a coordinating teacher had intentionally kept me in the dark about something and that had an impact on my class and day). I don't her on the contrary I thought she was kind. and she said (still a bit annoyed but calming down) she was glad I said that because she is kind, which is true. it was very real.

I feel easily annoyed today. it hits me in my heart.

I took some CBD oil. it doesn't hurt.
a neighbour says his nephew is selling CBD oil and delivering it online during lockdown and grossed between 3000 and 12000 per day. much better than teaching!
