The older you get, the harder it is to make new friends. Yes, my coworkers at the hospital are great, but I need friends who aren't sharing the same burnout and trauma bonding that hold us together. I have some physical limitations (I can't walk up stairs, need frequent breaks on walks, and tire easily). I'm looking for someone crafty like myself who'd love to get together and craft. If you have a dog, even better—I miss my dog so much. With the weather getting bad, I used to take my dog to Home Depot, Menards, or Home Goods to get out of the house without freezing while he burned off energy. (Yes, I know I said I don't like to walk a lot, but I make exceptions for dogs.) Most of my other favorite hobbies aren't winter-friendly (gardening, kayaking, camping). I'm just looking for someone who, like me, might be new to the area and wants to explore the city but never does because you feel people are staring at you when you eat alone. I'm definitely NOT looking for any type of intimacy or relationship—strictly platonic, with someone between the ages of 35-55. My deal breakers are:

- If you voted for Trump or didn't vote at all, keep moving.

- Someone who can't hold a conversation beyond talking about themselves or their work.

- Someone with a devotee fetish.

- No cats (I'm allergic).

- Someone who can't be spontaneous (I'm always down for a road trip to try a new restaurant, and I'm the best passenger princess you'll ever meet—I bring all the good snacks).

- Someone who doesn't own a washcloth or doesn't shower daily. I still can't believe I have to specify that in this day and age.
