Jokes on me…I just sent you an email and asked if the dolls had names. Then just now opened the folder and saw the names. Duh…

Things like this happen when you get as old as I am.

Just read your response to the Newsletter question of ‘Do you know who you are?”

I am in my eighties and I think we have been sharing the same shoes and walking the same roads. Maybe even the same timeline.

You asked if other introverts are magnets for the selfish. Yes !! It is a constant fight to keep the boundaries of self-preservation in place. But we have to. Makes me sad that it is so. They see our strength and want a free bite.

Your Garden is your refuge..mine is painting. Only recently using my words. As an extreme introvert it is hard to be vulnerable but here I am, as you said, so old and strong I am afraid of nothing. If you ever want introvert words, drop me a note.

Oh dear. Where are you at? It's been like an oven here today and I've not left the home v

We just barely got the air conditioner fixed enough to use it but it's still not wat it should be.

I'm in San Jose, CA and it's been in the high 90's for about 2 weeks now, and doesn't look like there's going to be any cooling off. We have NO AC, just medium and small fans. At first I could barely endure the heat, now I think the Ute in me is coming forward, because it's hardly bothering me at all.
Where are you?

In the east bay area, But hopefully not for long. Yesterday was like an oven. There ought to be a cooling shelter there. We have them but lately it's at the library. It's not big enough though, yet it's a large library. They've changed where to go. The heat was making me sick and I couldn't sleep much either.

Until less than a week ago,
I would leave my home and visit the local book store, where there's a coffee shop area inside. Many people go there and sit and browse magazines and books. It turned out to b a great place to meet people and converse about what we were reading, while staying cool

I just wish they had beds. Haha jk. I was very tired from not getting enough sleep.

This is late, my apologies to the wonderful Anonymous persons who sent me GP on 9/7 and 8/16 (my birthday

)
I've been dealing with so many things and these really warmed my heart, thank you again

I'm sure it's fine. We all have things in real life that take over sometimes.

Stupid real life!

But happy late birthday! I wonder if they sent them on your birthday on purpose or not. Either way, what a great birthday gift! I hope things are getting better. It's good to have you around!
