I am at a loss as to what to do! I used to prepare meals for a husband and my son. Used to start meals in morning by thawing the meat and then in afternoon would start meals from scratch. Used to write in this column all the time.
Now husband and I are divorced and my son has moved out. I don't really know what to do with myself. I have thought of volunteering but illness I have is kind of hard to control. (imagine how you would feel without someone to cook meals for?) I am over 65 and there aren't any jobs for hardly anyone now. Much less a senior citizen.
Do I dare suggest cooking meals for my son? Are there any cookbooks for only two people? I am on Social Security so my choices are limited. I did enjoy cooking and 'discuss cooking' with all of you. Seems I am at a loss as to what to do!
Other than visiting my brother in Hospice and going with my other brother on weekends, life just isn't what it should be. I don't talk on telephone as my husband made sure I didn't waste time as he said it was. After 25 years of marriage guess he trained me. I imagine some kind of hobby would be best.
Oh, I have two dogs and am thinking about getting another one because these two seem to be opposites and need some other kind of interest. Like people they get bored with each other. Maybe third dog would be change.
I thank you for the time and suggestions.
