AnneWimsey comments on Dec 27, 2020:

The standard advice is to volunteer or find a hobby. I say, rescue a shelter dog or two....a reason to get up, get out, they supply constant love & needing you, plus silly & fun, and they are alive & loved. Many shelters have discounts depending on your age, and help with spay/neuter if it hasn't already been done. Petco & petsmart have low-cost vaccinations, Aldi's sells a Great premium dog food dirt cheap. Reading what you wrote i find myself nodding my head, divorced 10 years, I haven't (nor do I want to!) spoken to my only child for over 10 years, have a few casual friends, now quite distanced, of course. But my 2 rescue dogs fill my days with laughter and sometimes concern. NEVER a dull moment with dogs!
