It has been quite the week so far. On Sunday my mother set up a meeting with the Pastor and his wife. She proceeded to talk in this whiny, scared little voice that I never heard before. In the end, after about 2 hours, her last statement was that she was afraid I was going to hurt her, physically. She's nuts. I told my kids and they laughed and said "Why would she think that?" I've never even been in a fight. So, I proceeded to get ignorant with her, I couldn't stop myself. I told her if we had to talk she could hold a broomstick between us...LOL. I had a few other choice remarks, non of which were at all appropriate, but I was angry and hurt by then. Things will never be the same between my Mom and me.
Well, my Florida trip was supposed to be today. I was to get on the train at 9:49, but I was in the bathroom when they announced it, so guess who missed their train. Smooooooth. I went to the ticket booth and the guy said the speaker in the bathroom wasn't working, and he was extremely accomodating. He said I would have to wait until tomorrow, but I am now going 1st class all the way to Miami. I leave Altoona to go to Philly in a 1st class car, and then on the non-stop to Miami they are giving me my own bedroom. It made the disappointment a little easier to take. I still have to come home coach, but I extended my stay another day, so I will still stay with Dana for 7 days. I am so excited. I overslept this morning, of course. I was so wound up last night that at least I had everything packed! All I had to do was shower and make the 1/2 hour trip to the station, so that turned out all right, but then to miss the train. I am exhausted, to say the least. I think it is mostly emotional. It's been quite a week, I can only hope that starting tomorrow it does nothing but get better, relaxing and enjoyable. Not too much more can go wrong, I think.
Thanks for reading!
