Hi Cardinal, LOL real world MLC ...you might be on to something. I wonder if they’d pick out strange behaviour in others if they were all quarantined together?

I hear ya when you talk about his family or your MIL ...a mutual friend of ours dropped by the other day to visit (from a distance)...this friend reached out to me in the beginning and then dropped me all of a sudden. It makes me so sad and also makes me wonder what H has told him. I too crave a reality where I could talk more with my MIL and SIL, or even just have them ask questions instead of sitting here with the memory of them shaking their head and saying “ ya it’s too bad” or “you should get a lawyer”....what the!?!?!? Anyway, I overcome these feelings by having fantasy conversations with myself and play out what I would say if I could speak my mind!!

I also like how you handled H’s birthday situation...I will be facing the same issue next month. Not sure what I’ll do yet, but I’ll keep how your situation played out in mind.

Hope you’re relaxing with kitty and the sweet aromas of your latest baking adventure.

Take care,
K
