As I don't have any family except a very elderly aunt who does not live near me, and no friends that I do things with, I find for the past few years it helps me to get through these days if I do any shopping, etc. done before the "big day", so that I can just kind of live in my own world (well, along with my 4 kitties)....in the house....and not have to be exposed to all the parades and celebrations out in the world. I know for some it seems to help to "get out there", but for me it most probably just leaves me feeling more lonely, and very likely breaking into tears in a crowd....not so good. So, today I'm going to watch some of the Wimbledon matches that I recorded last night, hang with the Furry Kids, then later cook a great dinner and pretty much for sure eat too much.....
I know what you mean about getting out, it's good if you can handle it but I would rather pass on a holiday. I'm the only one that feels that way though so we're doing the family gathering thing. they are nice people but gatherings last forever and I'm tired just thinking about it. last night we made frozen lemonade pies and I will be making a macaroni salad in a little while. I do like to cook and holiday food is kinda soothing.

here's wishing us all some peace today and some nice experiences where we can find them!!
