I can report on Day 2 early. There were thunderstorms here last night. I absolutely love thunderstorms. I got up and watched them. They energize and excite me.
Kate just called. The thunderstorms kept her awake all night and she doesn't want to do anything today. She wants to stay in bed all day and sleep. We are back to that energy thing. So basically Day 2 isn't going to happen. I was willing to go in and fix her breakfast and lunch and make sure she was comfortable but she doesn't want anyone to come there today. I tried to be thoughtful and considerate. She just doesn't want to do anything but sleep. So Day 2 will just be me. This is just further confirmation that we aren't the match made in heaven. I understand people getting ill on trips and was willing to go the extra mile. I was even willing to take her to the doctor. But it takes two to work things out. One way relationships just never work.
Off to buy a set of golf clubs. I had planned on doing that after she left on Sunday but am going to take the free time to start working on my twelve goals for the next year.

So.. your excitement so far is thunderstorms? They can be awesome. I don't know, Bill. First, the name change from Laura to Kate, and at this age? Most odd. Second, I can understand being tired after a trip, but to sleep all day on day 2 when visiting a close friend? Heck, I'll go shopping with you for those golf clubs! Honestly, I hope day 3 is better.
WHAT? No bathrobe? (did I type that?)
Supportive hugs,

Hi Kaye
Thanks for you support. We you add to the fact that it was her idea to come for the visit, I just said yes in a weak moment, it makes it even more weird.
Mom has all the diseases she says she has, she is over 30 years older, and she is always ready to go somewhere.
Yes, no bathrobe. I sleep better when it is a little colder, so it is the scivies.

When we're on a trip, we always say "we can sleep when we get home". I guess you're finding out a lot - one way or another.
Hi Mary Z
Finding out more than I want to know lol.

I just caught up with both days here, and I'm amazed. I can sort of understand being tired after a long trip, but to stay in bed all day the next day? Definitely not up to your standards. Maybe you should stick to sedentary activities for the rest of the visit.
As to the religious talk, very boring very soon, especially if it's the only topic. Unless you can get a good argument going. That might be fun.
Great that people and the cops are looking out for your mom's house. That must be reassuring for you, however inconvenient for Laura/Kate.
Hi Pat
She called about 4:00 and her, mom, and I went for dinner. Aftwards Laura/Kate and I had a nice long talk. She came up here with the idea that we could make a relationship work because she does really love me. I probably had some of those expectations too. However, I could tell the first day we just weren't that compatiable and I had to be honest with her.
I told her that the last few years we grew in different directions and there really is no hope for a long term relationship. We have been friends a very long time and I felt she deserved honesty. After the talk she thought it would be best if she went home early and is leaving tomorrow morning.
She isn't mad and I'm not mad but where she isn't feeling 100% and where it isn't going to work out between us, the best place for her is home.
I'm sorry the visit wasn't more fun for you, but I do applaud your being honest with Kate. You can both move on and that's a good thing. I hope, though, that you can remain friends, even at a remove.
Pat
While the visit wasn't a lot I learned a tremendous amount from the visit, both about myself and about her.
I think it is probably best if there is no contact from me in the future. I'd help her if she needed help and called but sans that I'm doing nothing to encourage any contact in the future.
Bill
Hi, and I love thunderstorms as well! Sorry to hear your visit isn't going exactly as you had hoped. It's a good thing you can be honest with her, that is always best. Happy 4th!
Hi Symply
Happy belated 4th to you and yours.
The visit was rewarding in some ways so I am glad that it happened.

We had some amazing thunderstorms Thursday night as well. One lightning bolt struck in the park right out our backyard, the whole house vibrated and I woke up almost on the ceiling!
I don't think I like Kate very much. Calling to invite herself for a visit, okay, maybe, you're an old friend. But to insist on talking religion all the time, and spend the day in bed? That's just rude. She has more wrong with her than just energy levels, IMO.
Hi Mary
I bet that was frightening to have the lightening strick so close. The noise must have been amazing.
Kate does have a lot of problems and has changed tremendously since the last time we saw each other. She has become really boring, pretty much very selfish, and sick all the time. I was just trying to be nice with the energy levels.
Bill
