The Boss is MIA. Too much happening re that full-time job and Mom caregiving. So it’s Rey to the rescue again . . . one day early.
Seeing as the holidays are nearly here again—like where’d the year go!?—I thought I’d post about what the three of us Triple Threat Investigation Agency P.I.s have planned.
JJ’s off for a week to North Carolina to visit her mother and nephew. Apparently, her ex-boyfriend Adwin will drop by her mom’s B&B. They were an odd match back when and he was kind of weird. I hope they don’t get back together. I’d rather see her with Cash/Richie J, that self-absorbed undercover-agent-playing-drug-dealer. Or maybe not. They’re an even odder match (but, damn, is he hunky).
Linda’s getting together with Loretta and Lido, her sister and brother. They’ve never been close—at all—but have done some bonding since our move to Hawaii. The two of them are kind of flaky, but that’s okay. Family should stick together. Life’s too short for resentment, hostility, or indifference.
As for yours truly, I’m playing an elf for 10 days at a local kids’ theater. It’s something new for me, so I’m both excited and nervous . . . which is kind of funny, coz normally I’m pretty calm about acting gigs. My mom called about flying over for five days, but she’s struggling to organize family get-togethers. If she leaves it much longer, she probably won’t swing a flight.
Between you and me—and I know what I just wrote about family—we’re not very close. Never have been. Linda thinks I should suck it up and let bygones be bygones. We’ll see.
As a gung-ho shopper, I got shopping (and shipping) done early. Woo-hoo. Feels great. Under the trees we haven’t yet put up <sigh> JJ’ll find a Giani Bernini bag (a gal can never have enough) and Linda an awesome Free People sweater (bought three for myself).
If I’m not posting again in the next wee while, have an amazing holiday season everyone!
Here’s to 2018 being the best year yet!
