And it is miserable! I'm probably living 1/10th of the lifestyle this lady is, and it's really really lonely! I'm lucky, because I can get up and make myself a snack if I want one, my friends and parents are still alive, etc, but living in this flat, I'm starting to have a *tiny* understanding of what it must feel like to be old. So you know, always make sure you visit your grandparents regularly.

Kelly, if I lived near you we'd be great friends and hang out a lot.

Yeah, but I'm not old. I will be, come 5th january!

wait, what's your definition of old?

When I've lost the will to live

That was my dry sense of humour.
I meant, I've done shift work before, but living with someone, waiting for visitors, carefully counting the pennies when you go shopping, I really feel for old folks. I always have done, but even more so now.
