Company? Coming Here? Next Week? Oh NO!

My brain is - at present - on a slight vacaction from my head. In fact, I might not be able to recover said brain until sometime within the next week or even longer!

I'm going to have company next week. The two who will be visting my home for the FIRST TIME are in all practicalities strangers to me. Although one of the visitors is supposed to be close to me, we've never had what could be construed as a relationship! To be completely truthful, we've never really liked each other very much!

I've not seen these folks in 16 years. My emotions are a total mish-mosh. And, I think my normally low blood pressure has spiked completely off the charts! While I'm mildly excited about the visit, I'm also experiencing trepidation - fear even! For the three days and a half days my company will be present in my home will I have to be ever alert to what I should or shouldn't say? And if I do say it, will it be misunderstood or have a totally from the "far side" twist placed on it?

I'm not the same "never say anything to prevent problems" kind of person I used to be when they thought they knew so much about me. They won't be able to push me into corners out of which I would never make an effort to rescue myself. In fact, they don't know me and I'm as much a stranger to them as they are strangers to me.

Oh joy, the cover to this can of worms which has been opened doesn't seem to fit snugly anymore. Guess I will have to do the best with what I've got to do with and hang the end results! Yeah, right! If I even believed one syllable of that statement, I wouldn't be sitting here at the computer typing this into my blog site!

Micky Finn has whimpered!

I'm an expert at 'trepidation'.
It's totally debilitating but usually totally irrational.
Hope all went well.
