After flying into Orlando Wednesday night and taking the scenic route to Ocala(via Tampa!) because she was trusting enough to follow directions from her idiotic rental car agent1, Sheila settled into a hot and humid learning routine. She drives about 15 miles early in the morning from her traditional Western motel to the Chi Institute in Reddick and starts her day with Tai Chi. Then she sits at the feet of the Masters for the rest of the day learning about traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.
She is really enjoying her course of study but says it takes a lot of energy and focus. I guess the Tai Chi helps with that. They are also feeding her well.
While Randy was watering Sheila's bonsai this morning he asked me if we should start calling her Grasshopper. I have no idea what he is talking about.
I have a high degree of confidence that my peripatetic mom will return to me exactly on schedule(Monday). Let's hear it for high humidity.
1One might argue that it is not a rental agent's job to give directions. However, this person was walking around with a map asking people if they needed directions. Randy doesn't believe that anyone could possibly be so brainless and insists that this was some kind of prank, originating perhaps from a rival rental car company. Sheila told him he should get out a little more.
