Being single is so impractical PnR: I'm feeling really depressed today. If I could cry I think I'd be crying.
I am meant to be going to a show tomorrow, it's an all day event. Problem is I thought my parents could come and help me and now they have a wedding. The girl who said she would help me and read my dressage test has bailed on me. So now I am stuck I don't feel like sitting at a show on my own all day so I think I'm just not going to go. I was really looking forward to this I am so depressed and I know everyone going to ask why I didn't go I am will have to explain never mind losing the money I paid for it.
My ex used to come to all my shows with me and I have to say it was a lot of help and I feel useless now. I really miss him a lot. I almost feel like letting go of my resentment and asking for his help now. He is the only other person who could read my dressage test.
I think I'll go crawl into a hole now.
Re: Being single is so impractical WhiskeyGirl: PnR!!
You are NOT gonna bail on the show!
I know how frustrating it is when things go wrong ...it seems like when i t rains it pours but don't bail on going in the show. You'll totally regret it.
So you have to go alone....thats alright, you'll meet people...you gotta start sometime and this is a good a time as any.
Your ex is NOT the only person who could read your test....I know its tough to adjust when you have someone new calling for you...but you should have practised the test enough that you almost have it down by heart now. There will be lots of people there who would be happy to read you test. Heck I've had to go in when my caller was standing in line at the concession...I just grabbed the nearest person to the ingate and said..."you need to read this test" LOL
Go to the show!! You will enjoy ...you know you will...and it will just boost your confidence all the more when you do it....alone...and you do it well. You dont need him ;)
Good luck girl!!
Take some pics, I'd love to see your horse...what level test are you doing?
Spanky (AKA Whiskey)
Re: Being single is so impractical PnR: Thanks Whiskey. I know I don't need him but it's so depressing sometimes. It's not that easy to manage a horse by yourself all day. I might still go will think about it. I do know the test by heart it's quite easy as long as I don't panick and forget it, it should be fine. You are right I probably will regret it if I don't go.
BTW I'm doing just doing welcome eventing. will take some pics.
Re: Being single is so impractical jillieb44: I just spent 2 hours when I should have been sleeping shoveling 7 inches of heavy wet snow from a hilly paved (read: slippery) driveway. Who needs men, anyway?!
Go to your show and have fun.
I'm planning a trip by myself to the Caribbean this spring -- getting my passport and everything in order, so I can do a cool hike or two in a tropical rainforest. Was supposed to do it with a man...but he's incommunicado. Who needs him?? Maybe I'll meet somebody else while traveling. And I *hate* traveling solo...

Re: Being single is so impractical shockedandamazed: PmR - I know what you mean about not wanting to do something by yourself - it terrifies me! I have married friends, work friends and school friends..but no friends to pal around with....maybe you will meet some!!
Jillie - thought about going with a singles tour? I am planning on going to Italy this summer with a singles tour (not that I am looking to hook up, just don't want to go to a foreign country by myself). It's an idea?
