I don’t know, I’m fine but if it weren’t for the people in my complex I’d be isolating. I stopped going to the Y, though I do keep in phone contact with a couple people. One, just talked me into meeting for lunch next week. I haven’t been to the senior center in months. I do feel obligated to say yes to the people in my building though. That’s perhaps a good thing. I think it’s all the cold and darkness. Oh so gloomy. The ten day forecast is gloomy and probable snow. Perhaps I need to invest in a sun lamp?
Today I finally talked myself into going to the library. An effort that means getting dressed, looking presentable and donning outerwear, taking the elevator down and crossing the street to get to my car. I got to the library and I had forgotten my wallet!! So I returned the books I had and came home empty handed.
