Re:Trying to live for me again hardened_heart1970: the blind date thing feels alittle acward.( hukt uon fonikxz)
i was called by a "girl" friend of mine this past friday to give her a ride. she was drunk. i get to the house shes at, (how convenient it was directly accross the street from my stbxw house) and they hop in the pick up. then 1 spills her guts about how they went there to set me up with a girl. "HELLLLLLOOOOOO?" anyone home? i did not ask to be set up, and did not want to be set up, and i hope to hel*l i never get in that situation again. only we as ourselves can know when we are ready. im making plans as we speak. i will be ready, and will have a date for december 31, 2006 hopefully if i make it past my birthday on the 23rd.
good luck, we need it. i hope santa makes all of us win the lottery. wouldnt they be pizzed?
Re:Trying to live for me again computerperson: HH1970--My mood and physical state was going to make the blind date thing awkward for me today....I'm glad it got cancelled.
I think I'd be in the same boat as you with a total blind setup that happened to you. I'd want to know what was going on before they tried to pull that because you might not be in the mood at all.
I do like your thinking on the lottery...
Re:Trying to live for me again amola: cp,
trust me, i am the queen of the un-motivated at times. there are so many instances that i just want to curl up on the couch, watch stupid tv, and do nothing. meanwhile, the house looks like someone mistook it for the county landfill.
i have found that making lists really does do wonders for me. and i put the tiniest little tasks on that list. instead of "do dishes", i itemize it out to "load dishwasher, run dishwasher, put dishes in dishwasher away, wash other dishes (the ones that don't go in the dishwasher for whatever reason), put other dishes away". i mean, my lists look rediculous by the time that i get done making them.....but, every time i accomplish even one tiny little step, it gives me something to cross off. i carry that blasted thing around with me all day long and as soon as something is done, it gets crossed off. i might not get everything on the list done, but when i look back and see everything that i did get done, it sometimes gives me a bit of a push to get more done.
don't know if this will help or not, but thought that i'd share it. hang in there!! :)
Re:Trying to live for me again computerperson: amola--Thanks for the suggestion...my biggest problem today is that I worked from home today, so I've been here all alone all day long. I'm quickly learning that working from home is not the best idea for me. I was suppose to go out tonight, so it wouldn't have been as bad, but those plans feel through.
I did a little last night, crossed some things off my list and I was skipping the list tonight because of my prior plans. TV has sucked the life out of me now, but I'm going to get something done, just don't know what yet...
Re:Trying to live for me again amola: cp,
i work from home during the day too, and it's hard. i don't spend all day there, as i have to go out and visit people that are on my caseload, but lately i've been finding that i've been putting off the home visits and have been moping around my office instead. i have come to the conclusion that i'm either going to get caught up on my work or lose my job and that can't happen. i got a second job (where i am at the moment) partly because i need the money and partly to get me out of the house and give me some human contact. i am hoping to be able to go out tonight, but i don't get done working until midnight so we'll see what happens there.
as for the tv, i can be bad about that. i've found that once i sit down in front of it, i'm toast. nothing else is getting done. nope, not going to happen. so i try really hard to not turn it on (but if i do it goes to an all music channel on the satellite) and then i turn it up really really really loud and clean. or i turn on the radio. either way, it helps to keep the house from being too quiet, which is what tends to bring me down faster than anything!
hang in there....maybe between the 2 of us, we'll get one list completely crossed off someday! ;)
