Hi Lisa, nice to hear from you! I don't know about the meetup thing. I keep talking myself out of it. How was your meetup group of non-widow/widowers?
Doug, hope the pay situation gets resolved soon! I'm still not working, just burning through all my vacation time. I'm "non-essential"...story of my life lately.
Kevin, the holidays are no fun for me either. I'm not so sad like I used to be, but now everything/everybody annoys me. I'm already in "hideout" mode. Found out yesterday that some of my relatives were coming over today (to discuss stuff with my son, mainly), so I packed up early this morning and took off. I can't fake a happy face, so better to avoid them.
