Feb 2022

it's getting to most of us. i'm finding my online friendships so much less satisfying these days.
if i didnt have 2 big dogs to keep me warm at night, i just dont know what.
my closest relationships exploded in jan 2020, and i'm as alone as i have ever been.

the only good thing in my life these days is my voice lessons. my teacher is the hubs of a dear old friend, and our weekly ft lessons have kept me from going completely mad.
he's become a good friend, but i only have him cuz i was able to pay him. these days i have to nag him to send me a bill, but at base it's still mostly business.

i lost my volunteer job due to the plague, and i miss that a ton, too.
maybe there's a volunteer thing you can do? an animal shelter, or?

hang in there, sweetie.
