Anita,

makes total sense. That’s why I think I have made so many new connections and friends here.  Speaking of- I’ll be meeting a new girl tonight at a wine bar. She lives one street away from me and has two dogs. Let’s see how it goes! I’m looking for more local friends to do spontaneous things with. My closest friends I see often but live a bit too far to go on a random walk etc.

yes. Wow. One week. I wonder how they are doing. Or what they are doing. I wonder if my dad has been ok to go to work. It’s interesting. What I remember most about him is – his clothes , smell, and way of speaking. But I don’t feel so bad about it or miss it per se. It is just what comes to mind when I think about it.
