Hi everyone - Long post Sorry read what ya want

FIRST AND FOREMOST : thank you ALL for all the love & HAPPY Birthday wishes, MUCH APPRECIATED!

Birthday was pretty good.

From a facebook friend

I played momma's answering machine message ---I miraculously still have For now.*** Lost brick pics and 1 email saved from momma in July... Kept them in email. Not sure how to transfer save stuff... NEVER THOUGHT SPECTRUM CLOSED EMAIL after service disconnection - SAD SURPRIZE!***

R. and I watched some GH ,had some pizza. She gifted me with a baby Yoda Shirt. Reese's pieces Ice cream topper, 3 cute necklaces(she had to put one on & take off for me yesterday) - I got L . L. one with the same message on it in 2018 . The other was a kitty playing on a crescent moon SO CUTE! but the other I thought went better with Dolphin shirt T. got me a few years ago. And a very pretty purple wallet- HAPPY TO SEE, Made in India on it. Sadly it's to big to fit in my fanny packs I wear as purses.

THAT, AND I HAVE NO DESIRE TO GO OUT TO NEED THEM

OH well, still sweet. OH AND We remembered B-day whippin' this year. FUN!

Otherwise I Was JONESING TO TALK TO TEACHER MOM - bka Ms. D. O. from North *Firestone HS at last teaching*

Got my wish! She called last night 🤩🥳

We chatted for 21 mins. 23 s

She is getting ready to go on vacay in a few weeks...to ME/MA .

BY HERSELF!

UH I'M NERVOUS- " Um MOM ? You're not going WITH ANYONE- DRIVING ALL THEM HOURS?" YIKES CAN'T SHE TAKE A NEIGHBOR for copilot?

* ME WANTING TO BE WITH TEACHER FOR 21 months ONLY *

"I'll come WITH YOU" Knowing that's NOT A PRACTICAL IDEA WON'T... But, a fun thought to be with her ( It's JO JO'S FAULT...She turned this back on. She's not even MY teacher... BUT BEAM EXCITED LOVE... Can't be with/hug her... Decided to go look for mine.

{ 2 so far, FOUND AND HAPPILY RECONNECTED WITH THIS YEAR-- ; after 25-32 years, since being in their classes. HELL YEAH BABY! }

Me: TEACHER 🥰 MINE! WANT HUGS

DAMN IT! I love you Jo Jorgensen )

Her: Yeah I'm gonna expose you to covid ... RIGHT? But she says I should go outside and get fresh air * But I said this past Nov. - I don't wanna go outside without TEACHER. I know ridiculous* So said I'll go out with you.

Joking and probably a little taken aback. She says, "Sure I'll throw ya in my trunk" HAHA! ME: OK! (No, I probably WOULD NOT ENJOY THAT) Ok not really... Just wanna play

She asked of who all in class I chat with. AND PASSES ON HELLO & LOVE TO YOU.

Just love this Gift of Connection again...

Favorite part(s) of conversation: She says, HBD * After I tell her "It's my b-day today and I wanted to ( hear your voice) talk to you today"

She asked about D. C. , laughing saying she loved it when he cracked HIMSELF up so hard trying to tell her jokes to make her laugh - SO NICE A Memory to have her share. But I said " sorry I haven't seen/heard from him in 18 yrs? (More like 15 I think though.)

BEST PART : WE EXCHANGED "Love you Goodnight"

This morning I'm already wanting to call teacher/mom again - NO!😭

BLESSED FOR THIS GIFT. Torn though

Heart beams love. GRATEFUL TO RECONNECT IN ANY WAY... Heart also breaks at the same time, because I WANT HUGS and (wish to be) spending time with teacher mommies ... But I can't be with them! Nor my momma for hugs.

ANYHOW YOU ALL ARE SPECIAL~

THANKS.

Love, peace & blessings. XOXO
