Nawlins, Wilma & My Special Angel...

Greetings Jennifer --
Here is your horoscope for Monday, October 24:
Your feet probably won't touch the ground for at least the next 24 hours—but then, why would you want to leave Cloud Nine for anything as mundane as life here with the rest of the mortals?

What a prophetic horoscope this turned out to be!!! Since mother ended up in the hospital & I had to ready her house for the 'cane, I ended up having to drive from Nawlins as my flight to Fort Myers was cancelled. Twelve hours on the road—the last two from hell in tropical storm force winds. Arrived at 3AM, & obviously had a bunch of chores to do before 'retiring' that Mommie Dearest had failed to complete herself... Then all hell broke loose when Wilma hit. Was without power for just over a day, but some folks still don't have it. Lucky! I've had enough of 'canes to last me the rest of my life.

Then there's my angel, Tommy James, who called from Houston yesterday about this time. I'm reeling. Thought he was gone forever...then this, out of left field. But, that's the way he does things I guess. Kind of got to the bottom of why he might be putting me off, & I was the one who brought it up—said I don't care if he's lost his hair or can't get it up—that I'm not that shallow, am far from perfect myself, will always love him no matter... Asked if he hated me (no), if he was mad at me (no), if it bothered him that I love him (no). Don't know if he was saying these things to mollify me or avoid the truth, but the only time he seems to be able to speak from his heart is when he's been drinking...
