Thanks for asking, Cindy. I sorta feel it every day, but then something happens to make me realize that I am being thought about. My DD, Julie, called last evening, just to talk and see how I was. That picked me right up and made me feel foolish.
I live vicariously thru others...LOL! I love hearing life going on in the background, as Julie and I are talking. Four rug rats seeing what they can get by with, crying, laughing whining, giggling and then silence.

That's when DD usually has to go..ha ha..
I really chose to be a hermit and not go places and do things. I could have chosen tolet my Family and Friends drag me around with them to different places, but it was a REAL "Drag"..LOL
I like being alone, for the most part and I'm not really a phone person, so the lack of calls can be a good thing. I do a lot of communication with E-mail and I do hear from people all the time...even my SSon in Iraq.
BTW,yesterday my SSon Chris e-mailed me that he will be home from Iraq in a week...never to return....WoooooHooooo!! Of course, then he'll be moving back to Hawaii to be with SO, where she is stationed, for another year.
Glad you had such a great visit with your Friend, Cindy. Now, see, the way I am, I wouldn't have done what you did. I probably would have had her over for lunch, because I don't drive or go anywhere.
I really don't have anything to Biotch about, but that's no fun..LOL!
Hugs,
