Me, too. I haven't driven for a while due to my bad eyesight. My driver's license is good till 2016 but I don't know if I'll be able to get another one then. I hope so. I won't drive.......but just don't want to give up that last piece of independence.

I get cabin fever from time to time but usually it doesn't last long. It's just me and my pets here so I really don't have to contend with anyone else but me. Pets can be demanding but it's not the same as having alot of other people around.

I read alot. And cook some. I like trying out new recipes. Took me several tries to realize that I need to at least cut the recipe in half otherwise I have the same leftovers for a week or more!

There are days when I'd love to just take a ride and see what's changed in my little town. Last time I got to do that I discovered it's not so "little" anymore. Lots of new stuff popped up when I wasn't looking.

I just try and focus on the positive things I have. A warm (or cool) house, plenty of food, water, things that some folks have to fight to have. I know......that doesn't cure the problem of cabin fever but it's just what I do to ease the claustrophobic feelings when they hit.

Good luck with the Mario cake! I hope the party is a hit!!
