I hope, even with all this virus stuff shutting things down again, you will all have a very nice holiday season.   I was really hoping they would have had better control of this by now, but progress takes time.   I just wish people would have listened to the advisory to stay home over Thanksgiving.   And yes I will admit I did not stay home all by myself.   I went to dinner at my nephews house.  I did not stay long and watched how close I got to people.   Although it was not as much fun as it had been last year, at least I was able to spend a little time somewhere other then my home alone which is starting to feel like a prison cell.   Lucky for me no one there had been exposed to the virus yet, and I made it home unexposed.
     The hard part is going to be Christmas alone.   We have canceled our yearly gathering of the clan.  I know we are doing the right thing for the right reason, but those Christmas hugs I would get from all my family would help carry me through to the next gathering.   My stored up hugs are running really low, and this year I do not have a way to replenish them.   If there is any up side to this, I have lost 20 lbs.  Still not sure how, because I am not getting much exercise.   Only thing I can think is I have not been eating much lately , because I was really depressed.
     It is not all bad I went to my one doctor today and the tests came back great.   I do not have to go see them anymore as long as I do not have any symptoms f a problem, so I will be grateful for that.   HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A REALLY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, or if you do not celebrate Christmas then a joyous what ever holiday you do celebrate to you.   
     Just maybe by this time next year the good lord will have seen fit to help the doctors fix this virus problem.   Maybe I am wishing for too much this Christmas, but I would really love it if God just waved his hand and made this virus disappear from the Earth
