It is now 9 months that I have been working from home. So tired of this. People are being idiots and not listening to the rules of the health services. How selfish. Haven't seen my family for a while. Won't see them (except by zoom) for Christmas. I am forgetting how to talk to people. Work is insane at the moment. I know the vaccine is here, but I don't even know when, or if, I will be able to get it. What do people not understand about this situation? I am tired. And now Winter is setting in. The cold is getting to me. At least I will be having Christmas eve dinner with a neighbor. That is something I am looking forward to. I am also turning 65 next year. So many big events. Arggghhhh!!

A very sad day.  My smallest and youngest elephant has died.  This is Mumbushi with Abdi, the keeper who helped with the rescue.  Poor baby, only a couple of months old and he saw his mother killed, had his head slashed with a machete, other various cuts and stuff on him.  A day later and look how trusting he is of Abdi.   Can't even begin to describe how heartborken I am over the news. Definitely booking the private time at the Trust for October.  Although the evening visits will be nice, you can't really be near the babies except through the fence of their stable.  So I will pay the money and be able to touch and hug them.   Love you, Mumbushi.  So sorry, baby, for what humans did to you.  Rest in peace, angel.  You are with your mama again. This person , B, is really starting to bug me.  So shallow, it's irritating.  Have decided to hide their posts.   Otherwise I might say something I don't want to...

 We have had the most fantastic fall so far. These are photos of the sunset a couple of nights ago. Absolutely amazing. Temperatures in the high 50s low 60s. Can't believe we are half way through November and I am still able to wear my sandals. Then we had a couple of days of rain and gray skies. We are supposed to get snow later this week. But a couple of days ago, I stopped into a store and got a great deal on a pair of winter boots. Usually sell for $120 and got them for $53 on sale.  I guess all good things must come to an end. At least now I am prepared.  I have also finished my Christmas shopping. Might pick up a couple of other things, but am finished for the most part.  Crappy, though, that a boss I really liked got fired a week and a half ago. I miss her. I am now stuck with a boss who I don't mind, but didn't really like. Our workplace has gotten really toxic. One worker, who is a POC, accuses everyone of racism whenever she doesn't get her own way. So sad....

Monday

Have been doing a lot of thinking tonight.  I realize I can hold a grudge.  In my life, I have been abandoned by 2 mothers and a father.  However both mothers decided to come back into my life around the same time.  And it was a case of "let's forget about what was and there was nothing in the middle".  Everything is normal, we go on as if nothing happened.  Excuse me, but FUCK THAT.  I am not going to forget everything and just act like everything is normal.  I hate swearing, but there are a few times when it is warranted and this is one of them. Sorry for the rant.  It just really ticks me off that they expect me to be available when they decide to show up, like it's a family obligation.  There has never actually been a family situation. O.k. I have gotten it out of my system.  Deep breaths.  Relax.  Done. How are all my friends today?  Hope you are having a great week.  Just took Kayla for her walk....
