East central Iowa | I don't get out much. Sometimes a neighbor will stop in if they see me outside. I live close to town so I don't go past the neighbors that I know and most of the people between me and town are town folk living in the country.
I work for one neighbor who is a really good friend but he's off my track to town and I haven't seen him since February. Then another lives across the state line and I haven't seen him since January.
Writting this I just started to realize how isolated I am. Church on Sunday is about the only time I see people. Or if I need parts and run into somebody at the dealer. However my worst problem is I don't recognize people. I really hate it when I run into somebody I know but don't know. Stand there and exchange pleasantries with them trying to remember their name or who the heck they are. The last few years a lot of people have gained a lot of weight, grown beards and lost hair.
Then too I repair computers and see people for a few minutes when the bring something to be fixed. But later at a store or something I don't recognize them. |
