    I'm so sorry I can't even imagine how much that hurts.

    Are there any meetup groups near you that you could join? Or groups for people in similar situations? Sometimes some company can make the world of difference. I'm not saying it is going to remove your pain but it might help.

    It's tough, I have friends but none that live nearby and it can be tough when sometimes just just want to sit and have a cup of tea with someone.

    So what kind of groups would you like? If there were some? What do you like to do in your spare time?

    I like to read and I am in one book club. We always talk about politics and what we like on Netflix, too.

    I would love to take art lessons.

    I'm reading a book now called Lesbian Widows. The author says lesbians couples are closer than hetero couples or gay men because both women have relationship skills and give relationships a high priority. I think that makes lesbians feel any type of parting - death or breakup more keenly than others. What do you think? I also like to read mysteries and historical novels.

    I watch TV series on Netflix, especially ones involving detectives such as The Fall or The Killing. I'm now rewatching The Wire because I love it so much. I've watched about any movie that looks good. I watch on Amazon Prime too.

    I do feel that some lesbian couples have a stronger bond then hetro couples. I have myself never been that fully close to feel it for a long time, The only woman I got close to was a woman who fell in love with who I was a person. She was a lot older then me which I am ok with. i have started getting back into some reading to.


    I have still got some more box sets to catch up on netflix, been busy with making some charity ribbons.


    How as your week been so far this.

    What charities do you make ribbons for? This week I felt a good bit of fatigue but I managed to function OK. The weekend will be nice because my daughter is coming to spend it with me. We always talk and laugh about nothing.

    I have a close friend who is decades younger than I am. I like having friends of all ages.

    My daughter and I celebrated this weekend. We ate two great meals out and went to a spa. I can't think of anything to do the actual day.
