How Is "Sheltering" Going, Fio?

Fiorella actually ventured outside yesterday--to mail letters at the post-office drive-through, gas up the car, and maybe stop by the Walgreen's drive-through for a refill of Hershey Nuggets. She was able to stick the letters in the mail slot without problem, but when she stopped at the gas station, she realized she'd forgotten to pack a credit card. Luckily, a nice older man opened her gas tank for her (which she still can't do) and filled the tank up--no charge, and all at a six-foot distance.
    Unfortunately, no one showed up to buy her some chocolate.

Your Fio spent most of the rest of the day putting the pages of Lolly's story together, then lining them up on the breakfast counter to skim through. Wow! That story is hot, hot, hot! Now to finish it off and consult writing friends about the latest in publishing.

Once and for all, Gwen, a fellow Wacoan, is off Fiorella's Facebook list. Yes, you may remember when Fiorella de-friended her a couple of years back when she attacked Fio full-throttle, but when she started attacking Fio's friends, your girl leaped into the fray again. In a depraved way, it was fun to tangle with someone so determinedly uninformed, But Gwen has gone beyond the pale now--with all of us, I think. It wasn't a matter of her politics, but her attitude.
     Fio should add that she herself has other friends, REAL friends, who disagree with her politics but have never called her names or threatened her like Gwen did.

Sonia Dog scratched Fiorella's arm, then tried to lick it well again while she was typing, then put on a hurt-feelings face when Fiorella refused her ministrations.

Sad to say, Fiorella has had a couple of bad visual migraines lately. Nothing to worry about, but they do interfere with her reading and writing. As always, she blames stress, but has there ever been a time when she wasn't under stress?
