Tina: Hello?

Bette: Hey T, it’s me am I calling at bath time?

Tina: No, we just got done.

Bette: Do you think she’ll come to the phone?

Tina: No webcam tonight?

Bette: If we can skip it tonight, yea. I worked pretty late tonight and planning to turn in as soon as we’re done. I know you want to talk about my weekend too.

Tina: Let me get the baby.

Angelica: Momma?

Bette: Hey baby have you been good today? Did you play with Angus?

Angelica: Gus. Fun.

Bette: Well Momma is tired tonight and I wanted to say good night to my Boo. Momma loves you, nite nite baby.

Angelica: Nite nite.

She hands the phone to Tina and gets back to her toys.

Tina: Hey.

Bette: Hey sorry if the email was vague. Janet is one of my friends from the gym. She and her husband and her sister and her boyfriend have a house for the season in Vermont. I saw her at spin class this morning and she invited me to join them for the weekend. I’ll be the 5^th wheel, but I’m looking forward to seeing New England. I haven’t even done much exploring since moving back to the east coast. It’s 5 hour drive so I’m not sure if I’ll boot up on Friday night, I think it would be a bit rude to just pull away after we get there. There is internet so I’ll be able to log in on Saturday and at some point Sunday. We’ll be back late Sunday night; I’ll call you when I get in.

Tina: Sorry to be kind of snippy with you. You deserve to have some fun and make some friends there. I forget I have our family of friends in my daily life and I’m glad you’re building that too. By the way I do recall that Colorado trip and our equipment rental was kind of a waste of money.

Bette: Yea, but that was a great trip. Maybe we can take another trip like that.

Tina: What’s your workout plan for the rest of the week?

Bette: Yoga tomorrow and spinning on Friday.

Tina: You aren’t going to overdo it are you?

Bette: T, I’m fine. I workout in the morning so I’ll have about 24hrs or recovery time and I mix up the workouts so I’m not stressing any part of my body. I’ll take Monday off to give me that rest.
