It was virtual Scrabble club night in my city. I made a serious effort to chat and try and have a good time. It was a success! I had several laughs and got closer to the one woman who i seem to hit it off with. I feel healthier and more confident and optimistic.

In the daytime i had some low-grade anxiety about the form my doctor has to fill out for my disability income. I don't want to bug them, but i really needed some news. So i phoned and it's still not done but he did get my message last week and will have it done by the deadline of October 30th. I also made arrangements for them to send me a copy thru the portal. The receptionist was pleasant and i felt better after i called. Darn it, but i just hate anxiety!

@Soupe du jour: Sorry to hear you hurt your ankle. I read this thread over more closely and saw that you had already come up with my suggestion re lying low. You had even discussed it with Fern. Don't know how i missed it, but sorry for being careless.

@yellow_fleurs: Your hike sounds wonderful. Seeing the lake must have been fantastic. I'm really missing out this Fall. I haven't made an effort to enjoy it and it's going to be over soon. My Scrabble friend is a nature photographer so i've been enjoying it thru her eyes in the photos she posts on Facebook, but it's not the same.

Hugs to all who struggle!
