I did the cleaning today, despite being hot and humid. While cleaning I had constantly wiped myself off with a towel and drank a lot of cold water. I'm glad to have been able to do the job.

I haven't slept well because it's been so dang hot! Also there's soreness in my upper arm. Perhaps I might have pulled something in the middle of the night. Because it's hard to toss-and-turn in bed with being so warm and humid.

It's all got me to not feeling so well emotionally.

Apparently, you seem to want to go because you may have some good feelings about the other women at the Senior's Center.

About me, I've been to so many social events and ended up disappointed every time. So it makes me not interested in going to social events. I think you are brave to consider this. There's probably a good chance that some other woman may be looking for a good friend, and that could be where you come in.
I hope for the best for you at whatever comes.

If I were going to some kind of social event that sounds pretty good to me, then I would have my expectations very low. It would be good for me to do it that way because, if I get too psyched, then I'd be set up for a nose-dive in disappointments.

I guess there are a lot of times in my life right now in being alone that I don't mind that much. But still it would be nice to have someone. I'd rather be alone than with bad company, but it isn't a good option to have only. I don't like to be a real loner, either. That's the fear I have at relocating somewhere else where I don't know anyone.

Thanks Will, I’ll let you know. I don’t think there will be another one until next year. Actually I hate that place and haven’t made any true friends. Just acquaintances who stopped talking to me. I’m sick of the book club as they don’t share my tastes. And the same people dominate the discussion. Sick of my exercise class too sigh.😔 I thought I had a friend, a man, but he got the wrong idea. And he stopped talking to me when he realized I was never on the same page as him.

Thank you for saying I’m brave because I often feel chicken! 🐓 I don’t mind solitude at times because I can regroup and reflect. But not ALL the time. And it’s getting old. I have a pair of dress shoes I never wore even once. I never fathomed that in decades I wouldn’t be going out at all. I have a few women acquaintances in both groups but no friends. Friendships take effort and most people lack the emotional maturity to invest in it. Hey why don’t you come here? Anyway there’s women there I try to avoid, one other man too. The old geezers are around at that place.

I wish I could find a better place, even a better book club. But it’s walking distance from home so it’s convenient. But not great.

Same here. We are BAKING and I don’t have ac in my bedroom. I opened my window and used the window fan, plus my floor fan. Normally it feels like ac if the temps cool down at night. But it hasn’t been cooling off, even at 2am it was still 80 degrees. And I have to drag myself to the store tomorrow. I go early but still…..it heats up fast. I too drink a lot of water and sweat. I have a box wall ac in the living room but it’s just a room ac. And costly to run! Do you have an ac at all?

Quote from Nonightowl --->"Do you have an ac at all?

I have what appears to be a box A/C. I've never used it. I never felt the need to use it because, like you, I feel like it would be costly. And I just hate air conditioning anyways. Whenever it's really hot and humid, if I go into a supermarket, it feels nice and cool inside. But then it feels brutal when I go out.

I feel like I can wether not having an A/C running. I grew up that way.
