Hats off to you! I don't think I could do what you did. On the other hand, having a lot of people fixing things while you are taking care of the kids and trying to keep them safe would have its own downers, too.
Anyhow, so glad you could and did do all that! That's some feat to be proud of.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn

I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.

I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.

In response to "New Year so far."

weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.

Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.

In response to "School Days"

Watching grandchildren choose as they age is so interesting because society has changed so much since I was a child.

In response to "All alone "

The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

In response to "All alone "

With the cold temperatures we've been having this far, I suspect that person wouldn't be leaving their house.

I don't know about you, but I've spent a week with no other contact, I found it very enlightening because I discovered how capable I was of doing things myself. This was after my divorce and my ex telling me that I would never go camping or kayaking without him, I was too stupid to do it on my own. I felt like I had a point to prove to myself. Unlike Hanks in the movie, in the back of my head I knew I could reach out and someone would come but I didn't give in I persevered and made it. I burned dinner once, over-turned my kayak once and the tent fell done on me the first night but ultimately I really enjoyed the silence.

I'm glad you're able to gather with your family. It's so hard to get everyone together these days. Hug that grandson tightly!

In response to "Changes "

Yes it’s certainly an interesting time, but watching myself deteriorate each day is not something I relish.

Have any past experiences shaped the fears and anxieties you have today?

Of course past experiences have to change a person and I’m sure I’m no exception. By the time you get to my age nothing is very surprising any more, I seem to know the outcome, even though it may seem unlikely, given enough time things always turn out as I thought they would.
Whether to trust? I suppose that is the thing that has shaped me today. I’m actually quite trusting but always cautious, having been let down by so called friends in the past. Actually I’m not a great friend, I don’t think. I have only ever needed one good friend even at school. Nowadays I like to talk and associate with people in groups never really committing to friendship.
I know that bad things can happen in an instance. Things that can turn your life upside down before you know it. I think that’s the reason I’m thankful for my days. Simple things are just the best and I appreciate my good fortune to be in a particular place when there is a lovely sunset or just watching the river flow with the sunlight shining on it.
I worry of course that anything awful will happen to any of my family but I try not to get to caught up in “ what if’s “.
The biggest thing to face is dying. We can probably count on two hands the time we have left, if we’re lucky. The thought of my husband dying before me is awful. I don’t think that will be the case though, he’s very fit as am I. So we’ve made a pact that neither of us is going anywhere!

What was your favorite thing to do as a child?

I was an only girl with two older brothers so I was dragged into many football and cricket games. But that wasn’t my favourite thing to do. That was drawing or writing stories or dancing by myself, living in my imagination. I wonder if I’m still like that even now. I seem to spend time thinking , not quite in this world. I think that’s why when I had my children at home I craved time alone and would get very anxious if things got too noisy. I enjoy being on my own even though people think I’m funny and out there, entertaining making people laugh, which I do, I know, but it can only be sustained for an hour or so then it’s back into my own world of thoughts.
