Thank you. My goal is to get dressed and put my Xmas tree away. Once I start that, I'll probably want to do more.

I'm procrastinating. Still in bed. TV on. My excuse is I'm waiting for my apartment to warm up. This is a drafty old place. It takes hours in the morning to get the temp up because I shut off the furnace at night. I hate the heat on when I'm in bed. Our climate is mild. 38°F now.

I got a message on fb from a distant relative who wants us to chat by phone soon. I promised her I would. Funny. This whole mess I'm in started with me not getting a phone call that I expected to get. I guess I had too many eggs in that one basket. It's time to branch out in more directions. It's bad to be dependent on just a few people for emotional sustenance.

It would do me good to drive somewhere nice.

Thanks folks for sticking around.
