I'm getting used to managing day-to-day stuff alone. It is kind of nice not having to coordinate with someone else or consider someone else's needs when I plan my schedule, decide what to eat, choose how to rearrange my kitchen cabinets, or whatever else I might want to do. But it is so lonely when it comes to facing the bigger challenges of life.
The new administration is turning the country upside down in ways that are and will continue to very significantly affect me and my community. To not have someone to talk to about those changes, to fall back on when things go wrong, to figure out how to navigate how to respond, to be a comforting presence, etc. is really scary and lonely.
