I just realized that my comments on your blogs have been showing up as Anonymous. I don't know when or how this happened. So just fyi - I have been reading and commenting.
Other news. I'm still dragging around here. I've pulled up websites for animal shelters and rescue groups, but I just feel like I'm violating something by thinking about another dog. Time will heal me and lead me in the right direction.
News about the new apartment. The Prom King and Queen often meet outside in the evenings, and whoever walks by usually stops to talk. I try to join in for a little while every day or two, and I'm slowly getting to know some of the people who live in our area. I've also tried to walk a circuit around the complex twice a day, so I'm getting to recognize some of the faces from other courtyards. I've always depended on Buddy to keep me up and mobile (and social), so I'm learning to do that myself.
I have not taken advantage of any of the social activities I was looking forward to trying. I asked a few folks when we were gathered last night about playing dominoes; they passed, but they did invite me to play poker. I passed. Then we got into a discussion of the card games we used to play growing up. That was a fun "remember when" conversation. There are so many good card games to try again if I don't find someone to play dominoes with.
I've seen a lot of my kids since moving here. My son comes by pretty regularly at lunch, and my daughter has been over once; I've also been back to her house every couple of days for one reason or another, so the location is working out fine.
More later ...
Glad the new location is working out. Location is everything.
ReplyDeleteYou'll know it when you find another furbaby. It's an honor to Buddy's memory...that he gave you so much joy that you want to fill that hole up again. So don't feel guilty when another dog pulls at your heartstrings.
Yes, your heart will know when you're ready to have a new furry companion in your life. Other people have that same problem about their blog comments showing up as "anonymous" -- it might have something to do with commenting via phone? I'm not sure. Glad you're seeing a lot of your kids and also getting to know some of the people at your new apartment complex.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have cleared cookies or history, I have had the issue of being anonymous too. Signing into Google again solved it for me. Mentioning it just in case it might help.
