How are YOU doing. It was a little confusing below but I think all of us would like to know how you have been.

I am doing OK. I am just still missing Mr D so much. I am not going out very much - we still have lockdown but our govt. is very confusing. I can go to Church or to a funeral with 50 people, BUT I can't "officially" visit my daughter or she come to me (but we do.)

I can travel in a Black Taxi (licensed to hold 12 but usually carries up to 20) with no sanitation whatsoever, but if I drive anywhere with my friend I am supposed to sit in the back seat (I don't) Cigarettes and alcoholic drinks are still banned (I don't smoke but I do enjoy a glass of wine)

The President makes an "announcement" and it is immediately countermanded by the THREE. We are back to having electricity blackouts due to bad management that has been going on for 26 yrs. Corruption is just as bad as it was under the Zuma bunch.

We still can't travel anywhere out of Province

I guess I am just tired of being on my own and not being able to do anything much. Even the dog club is still banned from opening.

I have been trying to adopt a dog but she is also "Out of Province" and it seems to be impossible to get here here to me so I am losing hope on that one too - our Provinces are like your States.

I hope everyone is feeling a bit more positive than I am at the moment. It's lonely being old and having no furry friends.

Cats are like Potato Chips - you can't have just one

I'm no spring chicken and I'm alone too,and without furry companions for the first time in my life.

It was worse in late winter/early spring, standing in line at the grocery store with the wind cutting our faces and in fear for the future.

Spring helped somewhat, giving us hope with birds singing and flowers blooming, but now I can't help thinking with dread of the coming winter.

You are not alone!

Hang in there....it will get better...nm

hoping you would get another fur friend or at least foster. That's too bad that the restrictions are keeping you from your next family member.It is such a life-changing event to lose a beloved pet, especially since he was your only. Keep looking, someone will turn up that needs you as much as you need them!

I'm glad that you have found some "work arounds" on the restrictions. It shouldn't have to be as hard as some of these governments are making it. At least we have the possibility of change coming soon. Yours seems to be ongoing.

I also live alone and depend on my cats so much more now. I miss the balance of spending time with family and friends. We are starting to do some small gatherings occasionally, but as we go into our winter with probably no holiday socializing and weather reducing time spent outside, I have to fight off loneliness as well.

I am very grateful for the internet, however. This whole crazy time would be so much worse without it! So take care of yourself and we will all get through this. Better days are ahead!!

I second that request....nm
