Thank you all so much. You helped me. I been watching the group for awhile but, I never wrote. You know that feeling in your stomach when you have to try to explain it to people and they don't get it? I bring a fan in my purse...everywhere I go. I think I had to just do the holiday. My first one alone. But I made a turkey with all the trimmings. It was wonderful!! You know when you cook something so well, you're proud? I was. And I was happy I cooked so well. I haven't cooked since February. I just buy whatever. Anyway, I feel better. I just didn't know what to expect for being alone the holidays.

I go a few places sometimes. I loved this Italian restaurant, I went once a week. But, now that it's winter...even though it's still hot....I went recently several times. Now they don't have the ac running because it's not summer. So, that sucked. Believe it or not it is easier to live somewhere hot, even though I'm not crazy about extreme heat. Because in the summer, everywhere has good ac running. Because I thought about this years ago. I thought of moving somewhere cold. It's worse. If it's cold....then the heat is on everywhere. Like the grocery store, and restaurants. So, no way. Living somewhere where the heat was on.....no way. I went to Vail last year...OMG it was like 7 degrees. I LOVED IT. I was out in a tee shirt. I hope to write more. Well, look at that. I wrote a positive message. Maybe being able to talk to people helped too. You guys were my therapy...and still are. Send me the bill.

Have a good night you all. Attached is a pic of my Winnie. I love animals. I've had collies over 25 years. This is Winnie at a few months old. Thank you all. Please don't leave me. I get lonely. And just to talk to people who understand what a "small fiber neuropathy" is. No one believes it is even a thing...lol...people just look at me like...what? Enjoy this puppy picture of Winne.
