Morning Messages

Tuesday morning, I was driving to work. A familiar face popped up on my display screen while I was backing the Jeep into a parking spot. It was Billie sending me a text.

Billie: Hey, haven't talked to you in a long time..hope you are doing well.

Bathwater: I am doing okay. I was just thinking about you too. How are things with you?

Billie: I'm doing really good, you probably wouldn't believe it, but I'm pregnant, due in September, and off fent!

Bathwater: That's great! I am glad to hear it. I know that is what you've always wanted. I am happy for you. A September baby suits you. Are you having a boy or a girl?

Billie: Yes, I am excited. It is a big change for me. A girl. I have been able to build up my credit, help with getting a new roof, furnace, air conditioning, and cut trees down. It's a good feeling. How are you, though?

Bathwater: You will be an excellent mother, Billie. You have a good heart. I went on a few road trips in April. Went exploring caves in Tennesse and then Kentucky. I am making the best of things, but it's not been ideal.

Billie: That's good. I am glad you are getting out. What do you mean it hasn't been ideal? Have you been able to find someone?

Bathwater: I've found a series of temporary someones. They seem to fizzle out at the most inopportune times. Like summer :). I am not holding out much hope, but that's okay.

Billie: I wish you could find a person that genuinely cares for you. You deserve that...and it is not impossible.

Bathwater: I went to the psychic a few weeks back. She painted a bleaker picture of how you were doing. I am glad it is not so. But then, I will have to take any good things she said with a grain of salt. I think the problem is I don't want to care about anyone else, but I am truly happy for you.

Billie: Thank you! I really just wanted to fill you in on all the changes happening, they seemed so far away at one point, and now things are falling into place. I still have to deal with stress often, but that is the same for everyone I guess. I just really wish you would find the right person for you. I have a feeling you are still looking in the wrong places.

The conversation went on. At points, it sounded like the Charisma Exercise, which was good to hear. I am glad Billie is doing so well. So much for the psychic?
