Just so you Know.. (middle of Moody Tuesday.... yeah, you could say..)

It is entirely possible to be mentally healthy, AND be as lonesome as hell.
This fu&$ing pandemic separates me from everyone I know and I am a little paranoid (?) ... that's not right, but.

I am a little depressed, too.
I don't really know how to Be mentally stable.

Mary's brother Rick died 11 days ago.
I saw it on FB shortly after opening an account again. I called Kathryn to ask if she had known and when she said yes, I went a little 'off' about no one telling me... (have also sent an email to her since)

OMG - do I see that the older idea that mary and i were really friends was the mistaken one.?
She didn't tell me about any ANY big thing: Mom's death, other brother, !

I am disappointed in myself and I thnk that is the source of the depression..? I don't really know an;ything, bu tI've had enough tonight.

very sad

so, in an effort to be conscious and rational:
Is it that single people are just not near the tops of their coupled friends' lists ?? I do sort of feel like an invisible person these days.
AND everyone I know is staying in like me. They just do so with another human...  do they appreciate that?
Depression has been a normal reaction to things for many decades, so it is natural to expect it now. Especially during pandemic.
That does not, necessarily, mean that I should give in to it.  It's been a good excuse for over-eating.

Happy New Year 2021

(copied from post at Itsa Village)

This new year is not the marker we all want right now. I hear people talk about 'getting back to normal' or 'the New normal'.
I think it is way too soon to make guesses about how that will look. There is this nice clean New Year, though. Each of us must make of it what we will.

Here is Pentatonix's version of Auld Lang Syne:

And this link is to a good article about the song and its lyrics.

And the lyrics:

Auld Lang Syne by Robert Burns

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
and surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give us a hand o thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne*?

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
well take a cup o kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
and surely I'll be mine!
And well take a cup o kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pud the gowans fine;
But weve wanderd mony a weary fit,
sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paddld i' the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roard
sin auld lang syne.

And theres a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie's a hand o thine!
And well tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.
