An nth yuletide (Easter, accumulation of holidays, forgetting lonely people). The void is perceived more acutely than ever. I propose to unite virtually, not to exchange empty wishes, but to give some information about how each of us can manage the insularity in these days.

oh, Paolo! I just ignore those holidays. Those are for people with family and friends, not for me. I just go on like I always do, until I don't go on any more. Anyway I wouldn't want someone to come and see me because I was a 'lonely person'. Save me from do good do gooders! I want my books and my internet and a bit of chocolate and a nice cup of coffee. I wish you the same, my friend!

Today is extra stinky. Where I would normally ignore the family festivities, this easter happened to land on my sisters birthday. So there will be easter dinner then birthday celebration. And my sister and I are close (she's less than a year younger than me, for next month and half we are the same age) so i cant skip out on it =/.

well, who would have thunk it! I got a visitor with an Easter surprise! Just since I wrote my first post in this thread my LANDLORD came over and poured sulfuric acid down my bath tub drain. I only complained about it what. . two weeks ago! The water from the upstairs neighbor wells up into my tub and s-l-o-w-l-y drains out leaving me the cr*p from their ablutions for me to clean out like some unpaid motel maid. (grumble-grumble gripe-gripe) anyway, it is bubbling through that pipe, now.

He even said he would be back in a few hours to check on it and run some more through the pipes from the upstairs.

so, the Easter Bunny comes in all sizes, and bearing all sorts of gifts (if getting you what you should have had all along is a gift!) I won't gripe much if it works.

I got a new 6 months old new female doggie which alleviates somehow thr pangs of pain for the loss of kidnapped one. So Easter day had not been so bad. I walked with Michetta (that's the name of the little critter) through the city and I settled on a bench with a book and the doggie on my knees in a beatiful square where some ten kids played soccer very seriously an nicely.I left alone the book and I observed the kids, the doggie also semed interested and at point tried to follow the ball.
We might write a kind of ASD journal in the Yuletide days and put it here.

Paolo, oh, little Michetta! how good to have a creature to care for and to be cared about! I have a warm heart for you, my elder brother! For my Yuletide day I waited on my LandLord to unclog the drain in my bath, but alas, I remained unbathed, as his work did nothing to unplug the drain. Of course, my gentleman cat remained my companion, and had no objections to my unbathed state (that he made mention of, he is, after all, a gentleman cat!)

your friend,

Merle
