Lonliness

I don't know if it's because I can't get out as much since I got hurt - no parties, no shopping/movies/out to eat marathons - or if I'm older and crabbier. But I've noticed I am not getting phone calls like I used to.

And another thing I've noticed: hardly anyone, other than bill collectors, sends me mail.  It seems only yesterday that I was getting lots and lots of personal mail, addressed specifically to me, for me, and with obvious admiration and affection.

It's lonely, really.

Wait - sigh, another interruption - "What is it, Husband?"

Mumbled message.

Me: "Oh."

Husband says the only difference is the election is now over.
