The 4th is over now. Today just seemed like a bad day for me emotionally. I was dreading this day before it came. I have to confess that there was a pot-luck lunch at where I live. I didn't go because I didn't feel like it. Early this evening a woman (she had told me about the pot-luck coming up a week ago) I saw said that I had missed a great time. Maybe, but I don't know if I would have had a good time. I'm not crazy about my neighbors as they are cliquey.

Tonight was the fireworks. First one since three years ago. It was very noisy. I have a difficult time with lots of loud noises.
