Re:Labor Day weekend p_cakes7: there's nothing significant about it being labor day weekend. rather, it's another three-day weekend where i don't have any plans. and i don't have anyone or anybody to not have anything to do with.
it's been difficult to break into the social scene here. although i will admit to being a little introverted and distrusting.
i've tried the volunteer route... this past friday i helped sell tickets at an outdoor jazz event. it wasn't all that entertaining. and that was fine. but then another volunteer said to me, "i volunteer at friday night jazz because it beats staying home alone on a friday night". hearing that just made sad. first of all, i was already in a so-so mood, secondly, it was at that point where i realized that most of the volunteers were single women and i didn't want to identify with them, and finally, last wednesday was my 9 yr anniversary. (divorce should be final later this month).
so, that's why i got a head start on the blues...
Re:Labor Day weekend cloud: My anniversary was last month (5 years).
It was definitely bittersweet. At least your anniversary is behind you now and not looming in the days ahead.
I know how you are feeling. I hate when I'm in a so-so mood and I come across something that sends me down--a family at the grocery store, a TV show about a happy family, random memories that come to mind.
It's weird how our minds work. I had a memory earlier today of walking through the Astrodome in Houston to see a baseball game with my dad when I was a kid. Where did that come from? I can remember how they had these inclined slabs of cement and you'd go up and around, up and around, until you got to your level.
Re:Labor Day weekend sunseeker: Gosh ya'll!! I wish I could do something to help ya'll shake the blues. I'm looking forward to the weekend by myself. Just me and the dogs....we're going to the park, I'm going to plant flowers, watch some cheesy movies, eat popcorn for dinner, go to bed late, sleep late....
We're not going to be alone forever...but it is important for us to learn to enjoy solitude......
Re:Labor Day weekend Kinney26: I have no plans for the weekend. It is just going to be an extra day to wonder what the hell I should do with my life. Thinking about the past, wondering about the future. You know, the fun stuff. I do have my son saturday, I'm not sure what's going on monday yet.
Re:Labor Day weekend LettinGo: It seems I am always running-running-running and busy just to not have to deal with being alone/lonely. When I find myself with fifteen minutes to sit and do nothing, I CREATE something to do.
I realize that isn't exactly healthy. It's hard to be alone and wonder what your stbx is doing ... imagining them having a great old time.
Anyway, I am having company this weekend. My mother, aunt and cousin are all coming to spend the night Sunday - Monday. On one hand, I am looking forward to the company, on the other ... I hate that they probably feel 'so sorry' for me, and I really don't want to talk about things with them. The last time they were visiting, we were having a huge family BBQ with both stbx's family and my own, kind of a mini-family reunion, the "First Annual" as our invites said.
Anyway didn't mean to drag on and on. I was doing okay until something with ex messed me up this morning and then I backed into a parked car :-\
