I dozed away the daytime and played Scrabble for hours in the evening. I didn't have many interesting games today. I guess yesterday was just stellar.

The high-rise building i live in is making occasional loud bangs as the concrete expands and contracts due to the cold and it terrifies my dog. When we're in bed she tries to crawl into me and pants her stinky dog-breath right in my face! Yuck! I love her but sometimes she is gross!

@Soupe du jour:

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so lousy. Is it the pandemic? I know what you mean about feeling alone. My ex wasn't good company either. We each did our own thing. But we have the MySupportForum family here and i really care about you. We've all been with you as you've made your transformation into a European and have followed your adventures with keen interest. All i can say is remember: "This too shall pass."
