Just Dad and I today. Normal elder care arrangement. No family thing going on.

(86,502 posts)And to you and anyone feeling lonely.
I am fine, I spend most holidays alone and am quite used to it. Doesn't bother me a bit, I'm just thankful I have a home to be alone in and that I didn't have to go anywhere.
I had some fixins here and made enough to enjoy and that's really all I needed, and DU.

(7,286 posts)I try not to dwell upon it. Under the Q from clinical exposure. My 4th Q.
Our clinic is stricter than CDC guidelines for healthcare workers so it's life

(51,582 posts)they are in the same bubble but I was going to sit outside and eat that way...then my 4 month old NEW car battery had a different idea. I was even wearing my American Indian accessories...all dressed up and no car battery power at 5 PM. Too late to call AAA and get there in time. Hello spaghetti...par for the course for this shitty year I guess. I miss my dog and my dad.
Covid self isolating is killing car batteries too, if you don't drive them enough.

(51,582 posts)something even more expensive. I can't afford my health insur, let alone a mechanic who I can trust. I am not a rich, elite librul like the cult believes all Dems are. Keeping my fingers crossed.

(36,745 posts)I go out and start my truck about every couple of weeks. Just using the car now.

(54,329 posts)Thursday wasn't a holiday here, but I saw no family until 10:30 PM
I had to get up at 3:15 to make a 4:44 AM train down to München (Munich), worked there all day, then got 4:49 PM train back to Düsseldorf (between 5 and 5½ hours each way), then the 10:00 PM commuter train back to my town, where my wife picked me up and we got to the house just before 11 PM. Dinner was a small salad, a boiled artichoke and some spiced sautéed potatoes with onions. Dessert was lightly spiced Constant Comment tea from Boston sweetened with Apricot marmalade from Turkey.
So much for tradition!
