Seeking PenPal, buddy, or local friend

Hi Everyone!

I live in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.  I am a 44 y.o. woman.  I work from home so I have very limited interaction with others, which can be isolating and well, a bit depressing.  I miss the social interaction of an office setting but I do not miss the commute - so it's a trade-off, I guess.  I just recently discovered this site and I have to say I am really loving it - the information and support are just great.  I am still researching which surgical procedure I want and still researching physicians in Mexico since my insurance excludes bariatric surgery.  I would love to connect and talk to others or if anyone lives in my area, perhaps a walking buddy or something like that.  I used to have several penpals in various countries around the world growing up through college years (this was pre-internet) and I miss those days.  Getting a letter from another country far away was so exciting!  Those days might be gone but I am hoping penpals via email can be as enjoyable - twitter, facebook, instant messaging just are not the same as a chatty letter or email. 

Hope to hear from you!  Thank you for your time in reading my post.
