I'd love to have y'all; however, I'm no longer a fit hostess and/or housekeeper. I have a progressively degenerative neuromuscular disease. It takes every bit of energy and planning to go to the grocery store and to get to the vet, dentist and doctor, and I feel very fortunate to be able to do those things. I'm blessed with a vet and medical professionals who accommodate me with appointment times. Otherwise, I'm shut in.

Not complaining; I could have it a lot worse. I'm not in pain except for a couple of months this year when I broke my leg in two places.

I understand more about that than you might think. I’ve been basically shut in for the last 30 years, myself, and have learned to schedule my days so that I don’t get overtired. It’s taken years to get to where I almost act normal. As for hostess and housekeeper, well, I do what I can do and if I can’t do it, I just sit and look at it.

I would love to meet you, and you can take that as a positive, no matter how you see your situation. But I certainly won’t push the issue. I’ll just let you know when I get moved. ;o]

In the meantime, hang in there. We’re not so different!
