Hello hello hello. Depressed, lonely, grieving old woman living in a grim nursing home in 🇨🇦 here. Surrounded by heartbreaking dementia & paralysed stroke patients. No one to really talk to since my husband died a cruel death from Parkinson's, dementia, & bipolar disorder last year (but increasingly talking out loud to myself 🤭). I have Long-COVID brain fog so my short term memory is poor. My world has shrunk to music on Alexa & a few interesting channels on my laptop. The Jolly Heretic gives my poor old brain a real workout! Also learning to speak a little Tagalog as most of the PSWs here are from the Philippines. Sweet, hard-working people. I was a psychiatric social worker in Chicago in the 1960s, NYC in the 70s, Toronto in the 80s. I switched to writing romance novels to pay the bills & give me some independence to deal with my clinical depression, DID, & BPD plus my husband's BD, & raising our learning disabled son. Also coping with our chaotic, violent, & poisonous families. Oh dear, this is a long rant full of details of no matter to anyone. Sorry, I'm showing my age, I guess-should delete this. But what the hell, going to hit 'post' anyway. Growing old...not so good.
