I'm doing okay. I feel like today is really the first day of the new year as it is the first business day. The regular team anchored the six o'clock news -- another sign of normalcy. Nice to see them again. I worry about my weight and wrestle with Overeaters Anonymous sometimes but i forced myself to get on the scale and i haven't gained any COVID weight so i'm not worrying about it today. I always think i've gained heaps of weight and am afraid to weigh myself. Then i force myself to and i haven't gained any!

I feel grateful to be free of anxiety and fear and to have no commitments or appointments. I'm tired but since i'm free to relax all day it's okay. I get bored sometimes but i have my dog, radio, journaling, Scrabble, news, knitting and my soaps so i try and stay amused. Things are a lot better than they were when i lived in Vancouver for six months 22 years ago when i was so poor and sick and scared...

It's a dicey time of year as far as but i am feeling accepting of my tame solitary life so i think i will be fine.

Hugs to all who struggle!
