03-14-23 Support Team Arrived
Today was a lot of catch up, 136 email not counting spam to peruse and a bunch of work to get done before heading off to the client I pushed off on Friday. I finished there just before 7:30 and headed to see Mom. She was moaning and moving around so I stayed and visited, talking about the 70s and my interpretation of the strange life I was brought up in. She agreed that she was a total prude and Dad was an exhibitionist who didn’t really like wearing clothes or at least liked the feel of the air on his body. That made for a very strict and immoderate upbringing in the 70s, confusing in many ways to a kid. We laughed and shared our remembrance of different events, interested at the perspective. It seems to calm her to laugh and talk and she was able to ride it out until Greg and Cassidy arrived around 945. We all had a good visit and then the three of us grabbed fast food as we were starving, me after a long day of work and them after driving up from Salt Spring Island. Apparently there were some interesting weather related moments driving and the fog and snow were challenging a few times but they made it here safe. Greg is staying at Bill and Deanne’s and Cassidy is with me. I am very surprised that Missy seems cool with her, but then again she is special this niece of mine.
