Not shouting!

Well this is dull...sorry. I am up late and nothing is happening...which is good I think. I have been out and its very quiet indeed out there ....no one moving...just the odd car going past. I am assuming that many have gone home and that the new comers are not up yet. Yesterday I had several phone calls and invitations to various events locally but I will be staying at home. Its not just that this feels the safest way its that here I have food and drink to see me through a few days...and I can always talk to people on the phone. Being at home on my own feels right just now. Plus I have two people who are dropping in at some stage...so thats OK too! I am getting very puzzled by the assumptions from some people that I am unable to look after myself. This is something Ive been doing for years! Why would it change now? I understand that people need to feel useful. We all do...but just now I am fine...despite my advanced old age! I find myself getting very tetchy with those who try to insist they are going to help me! I am old thats true but still able bodied and able to use my head. So the assumption that I must need help is beginning to get me down. When I do need help I will shout...loudly! So thats Ok then!
