Old friends are best

Today is the last day of my vacation. I spent the past week visiting with my friend Rosalind who flew in from Boston. Roz and I have been friends since we were 12 years old...that's almost 42 years. We met in the 7th grade at Girls' Latin School. We didn't like one another initially, but here we are 42 years later.

It was a good time. No we didn't go to the clubs. We visited with her Aunties in Concord, shopped at the Mall. We drove to Charleston, SC to visit my mother and just have fun; and then back up to Kannapolis to visit cousin Jeanne and Thomas in their beautiful new home on Lake Kannapolis.

And I remembered all over again what it's like to have a best friend in whom you can confide your secrets.

We shared our heartbreak over our last relationships and our hope for new ones. Let's get back on the horse again!

She just called to say her plane arrived safely and she was home. I miss her already.

Today just......

sucked! I have the headache from hell and I can't get rid of it. The pollen count has been abnormally high. My sinuses feel as though they are going to burst. I tried taking sinus meds, but nothing seems to work.

Even worse I seem to have struck a plateau in my goal for fitness. despite my going to the Y four times a week, I seem to gain and lose the same 2 pounds.

Anyway, enough already!
