Yesterday was a good call. With my clear mind I realized camping during a snowstorm in a brand new trailer is not a good idea. With my clear mind I was able to realize my Mom wasn't yelling AT me cause she had a bad visit with Aunt Lee and Uncle John. I just let her talk and then said "Mom, he's dying, there isn't much I can do, he's going to get worse, not better."
Why that calmed her down, I have no idea. But it did.
Actually, Oliver's puppy wailing has helped me too-I just let him wail if he's warm, safe and dry and I don't get disturbed about it. Eureka. Insight from a dog!
Mom had dual agitations about the weather, dreading it and being angry that I don't like the cold-"You should just go somewhere where you don't have to deal with it, although there are hurricanes and earthquakes....and..." so, I let her wail and then I said "here is where I am, and here is where I'll stay. You have to deal with something no matter where you are, and I have chosen to be here-I knew it got cold when I moved here."
I didn't share my own second thoughts I've had-they are MY second thoughts.
I got a box from Mim and I'm saving the opening for this afternoon after the weather starts. It will be something fun to drive away the sound of the rain (ice)(snow)....

I hate cold too but I have to admit that I'm a little jealous of you right now. I wouldn't mind being snowed/iced in the house for a few days. Happy weathering the storm and I'm glad you've got a surprise to open this afteroon : )
I would be happier if my tree were down and removed-it's still up. But, it is what it is, and I've got no where I have to be and the house is warm and my belly is full, so I really shouldn't complain.
Oh yeah, and Amazon sent my books (although they didn't arrive in time for my trip) so, yeah, it could be much worse.
Hope you like the box of wierd goodies!
Mim, I wish I had been able to video the opening of the box. I was ooohing and ahhhhing and holding each item and thinking "what did Miriam intend to do, what do I intend to do?" Soooo many possibilities! Thank you thank you!
The first thing that wants doing is an ATC-I've been wanting to try that-so you will get the first! (I say that like it's something to look forward to-teeheee.)
