By choice, in my case, parent's in a long term care facility this winter, need to stay close to home.

No plans otherwise, not so bad.

I've had some kind of crud for about a week and wanted to make sure I was fever free for at least 24 hours before being around the grandkids and greatgrandkids (seven of them age 5 and under). So, I'm feeling a little bummed tonight, but tomorrow will be better.

and then it's seemed like they were arriving in batches. No multiple births either. They're pretty well behaved and they all know that they have to mind Granny.

relax, and don't invest too much thought about it, or too much stock into the hoopla of what we're 'supposed' to be doin'.

Tomorrow will be a busy day, need a quiet night before.

Nothing wrong with being alone.

Someone is always on DU to talk to.

I find I need more me time now, peace and quiet.

I've found myself in that spot in the past. It'll be ok. You've got loads of kindred spirits to keep you company here at least.
