Nov 2015

i had a nice lunch w a friend, and made a couple new one meeting his family. it was a good time, but it was only a few hours.
i have a couple other people here- an old friend that rents a room and a 24 yo who suffers from depression and wont get help. he can get his life started. i have tossed him out a few times, but he always comes back. (so far)

but even they are gone today. so it is just me and the critters. which, thank god for critters. if i didnt have my pets, especially my dogs, i am not sure i would have gotten through the last 2 years.
it is getting a little better as the legal bs gets sorted out.

but starting over at my age, 61 now, is tough.
i do intend to tho, if i can. i dont want to get old alone.
have done a little bit of dating, and it has been pretty good. dont quite have my mojo back, but at least now i remember what it is to have one.
but- this is my favorite joke-
dating at my age is tough. men are like parking places. all the good ones are taken and all the available ones are handicapped.

imma keep circling the block, tho. it isnt gonna get any easier if i wait around.


glad you posted.
