We're slowly planning our France trip. There's no way we could leave tomorrow, like originally thought. Now the beginning of June seems better. There are several things on our calendar in May we planned to skip. It's best we not, plus we need more time to plan the trip.
I just received an email from an estranged friend. It was friendly with several questions about my current life. Plus she asked that we have a "virtual lunch" to catch up. I'm reluctant to answer and would dread the latter. I asked Hubby his thoughts and he said to respond, but ignore the "virtual lunch". He always disliked her. She and I were close work friends for years, and continued after she was fired. She often talks behind people's backs and acts superior, which I dislike. I can't say we just visited the US. She lives nearby where we stayed. In her email she wrote that she misses me. Truthfully, I don't miss HER, but do the kind of friendship I perceived having, at one time. I'm generally not a grudge holder, but it ended painfully, during a terrible period of my life. Holding on just to have another friendship, is not healthy. Not having me in her life surely doesn't hurt her enough to warrant rekindling. I just want to start a new life.

Yes, the rose garden was paradise. The entire yard was like a park. Definitely the best part of my childhood, being in that yard. I love flowers, too! I have flowers tattooed on my hand, arms, and leg.
What you've described does sound like perimenopause. The sweats and hot flashes. Not pleasant at all.
Boy, we're in a similar situation with "a friend." I have a friend, I do care about her, but...there are just too many things. We've known each other for almost 40 years though, and she pushes to get together. I'm just not really into it and it's very awkward because she says that it seems like I'm kind-of resistant to the idea of meeting up. Then she calls me "reclusive" which annoys me.
I'm with your husband, Soupe. Maybe take a while to answer instead of replying right away and don't mention the "lunch" thing - which sounds so unpleasant.
