It feels. GREAT!

I was actually mostly honest after making some measly remarks about taking care of deferred maintenance around the place. They are eating at ONE PM - while it is still DAYLIGHT - close to a crime in our household! 🤣

I said that eating mid-day like that - being inside for this nature- and action-crazy gal makes me "depressed, unhappy, unpleasant." Invited hostess for a hike (and leftovers - we will make dinner at home, just the two of us, with our DOG and assorted other pets) another day, stating being outside in nature is my "medication and religion."

We usually spend TG with mom-in-law, but going Christmas instead this year with adult daughter who lives a couple states away and is coming home then.

I suppose I will end up mostly alone in my dotage, should I outlive my husband. We have just the one child, and are very close, but there's only so much one kid can be expected to do.

Oh well, for this LONER, maybe not the worst fate!
