I made it through today. This was a day I wasn't looking forward to. I had all kinds of imaginations on how bad today could be. I pictured a lot of people getting together being noisy and and me being outside of all of it alone. But it didn't turn out that way - thank goodness! It's been very quiet and it and it seemed like those living here went other places. It was what I hoped for. But still I felt bad about being alone and lack of contacts from others on this particular day.

It's all done now. It's over!
