• i practiced clarinet for the first time in months today.  i also went for a run, even though i didn't want to.  both of those things felt good.  really good.  i also had a number of other tangible, positive milestones at work this past week.  and i went to the opera and the symphony by myself.  i'm trying to force myself to get out, even if it's alone.  so things are going better, but i still feel sad and lonely.

  it's interesting watching old couples together at the symphony.  they don't have anything to say to each other, really.  maybe that's inevitable when you've spent 40 years together, and when you're retired and spend most of your day together.  one on hand it's sad.  but just having another person there makes them feel less alone, i suppose.  it's not necessary that words be spoken.
