Oh dear!

Well I am up, dressed and ready....I just dont know what for! It seems unlikely that any plans made for this week are going to work out! I should be putting stuff in a suitcase...I still think I am going to a hotel for the festive season..but I am not sure. I am not sure of anything much just now. Everything seems....confused....unlikely. its still darkish outside so even the daylight cant make up its mind! I am aware that there are things I should have done but have not . I am remembering the last time I booked into a hotel. I hated every moment of it. So I am wondering if history is about to be repeated! This time the hotel is much closer to where I live..an easy drive..except the usual parking problem then enters my mind. I could just take a taxi....if they are still working.... right now nothing seems certain. Waiting to see feels right. Will my cleaner turn up? it is Monday morning! Should I finish my packing on the assumption that I am going...Will my friend know where to find me when he turns up at the end of the week? Thank goodness for mobile phones is the answer to that one! I am not used to all this chaos...but I am getting used to it. If my cleaner does turn up we can have a coffee and a natter...like we usually do before I have to start making decisions....like will I need a ball gown? Or not! Oh desr ....those words seem to be more used than they ever have been before! Oh dear!

Good afternoon Jean.
Hope you’ve got that bag packed! Not sure about the ball gown, but perhaps something special and glamorous 😊

Hope you had a good chat with your cleaner if she came.

Take care

I really feel that your trip to the hotel will sort out the confusion. Decide, right or wrong to go, and get on with the packing. Don't worry about ball gowns, it is unlikely that the hotel with have such things organised, because of the virus, social distancing and all of the other arrangements. Would you be able to waltz with a stranger from 2 metres apart or 1.5 metres with mask as a mitigation. It would be a strange dance indeed.

Perhaps some of the folk type dances or thigh slapping American ones could work, but how active do you want to be?

I am praying for your decision making to be decisive and clear and that you get way for a break, even if a day or two.
