I am lonely...in a way. My job is a great help because I've worked at it for a long time and have a good community there. I am legally married (for over thirty years) and while my husband and I are friends, we do not live together. I live with a man who used to be a good friend, but who has become a real loser (hasn't worked for five years for no other reason than he doesn't bother). I don't feel like footing the bill everywhere he and I might go, so I go alone. I am blessed to have grown children I'm close to; my daughter and I are especially close...she's my dearest friend. I have sisters and cousins I see now and then. It would be really nice to have a male person to hang out with...but...I have a history of doing that, and it always starts out great fun and ends up trouble.
