Thought about making it the new year but I'm only one person and would rather make it for a crowd. Learned how to make it while visiting friends in LA in 89 for two weeks.

I love the holidays. Not gonna let HIV or the impeachment nonsense get me down. Too much good to be thankful for.

I don't worry about Christmas. It's supposed to be a family thing- but haven't spoken to my siblings in 20 years. Ever since my parents died 20 years ago I have been hated by them. That is because the family estate is involved.

I will inherit more than 60% of the house on a beautiful private lake in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The "family" is pretty much pissed off and been wasting these past 20 years of energy, time & money with lawyers, court filings & attempts to remove the official last Wills of my parents.

I am more stressed about this weekend's performances of The Nutcracker.

Christmas will be fine and relaxing, spending time with my best friend & with my cats.

No, I don't get anxious about the holidays.

A little concerned about my getting older, and my physical body. Having body pains in my joints, lack of bone density, which I attribute to Gilead & the "bad batch" of Truvada which I was on for several years.

Pleased to be on the Class Action lawsuit against Gilead. They deserve to be sued for what they did for financial gain, rather than being humane, & caring for the people taking their drugs, who are now suffering long term negative effects & even death.

These affects are what are troubling me & wondering if they will stop or get worse.

That's the only anxiety which I have and taking Klonopin & Citalopram for.

I thrive on watching CNN, local news & cable. To me it keeps me abreast of what's going on in the world. I want to know & am endorsing Mayor Pete in his bid for the democratic nomination. I will volunteer for his campaign to visit around my Republican town, a summer beach resort town on the ocean just 30 minutes south of Boston.

The only thing that worries me is Trump. I wish no I'll on anyone (except Gilead), but Trump needs to be removed from office. He's killing our country.

That's it for me.

@A myHIVteam Member, I have to ignore Trumps and Pences new goals for able bodied HIV people to get a job, if they are to get any of the benefits from Social Security, that I am getting right now. Right now I do not pay Copays for my HIV meds. Like you, I've had this virus in my body for 31 years or more. It does take a toll on our thought process, joint mobility, after being awake for 6 hours, my eyesight is blurred by fatigue, and never mind the various bodily pains. I now have the you can call it the luxury to be alone, with my dog. Nobody to boss me around, and to be on my time and do whatever i want. With this new Fascist Government being formed as I write this comment, my luxuries can be swept under the rug in an instant.
