first real weekend alone here and not realizing how lonely it can be. Dont really have motivation to go out and try to meet people. I know I want to get invovled in the rowing club and with an orchestra but taking that first step really holding me back at moment. Hiding in my apartment safe right now. Awakened by phone at 10am went back to bed til 2 been watching tv and on computer since then. Meh....thinking may go to crasft store tomorrow dunno. Maybe finish evening with glass of wine and a book. At least I ate today *smirk* Back to work Monday. Should be getting my bunny this week, maybe that will help missing her

Hi Penguie,

Im alone this weekend too, daughter is at her fathers. Maybe try an go for a short walk, that what helps me. It usually takes me most of the morning to get myself out to walk but I know once I do it, it does helps. I wish I could get a pet, my landlord wont allow it. Go to the craft store tomorrow, it will help. I have no idea what Im going to do tomorrow, I might walk thru the mall or something. The rowing club sounds like a great idea. Joining the orchestra, what instrument do you play? Try an get out of the apartment, I know thats easy to write it but doing it is very hard.

Hugs
Kate

i'm sorry to hear you ladies are lonely. i gt that way a lot. I hate it. i have been doing pinterest tho and i must say that i really enjoy it. there are so many cool things you can put on your boards. a visual world fo ryourself to enjoy and make believe waht might be. that's what i've been doing when my pain level allows.

I'm really glaed Penguie that you are getting another bunny. have you picked out any names? I hope this bunny will be as wonderful as your last pet was. Cappie would be proud of you!

i think you're right kate getting out does wonders. i think that when i'm diong things i def. do better too. it is very hard to do tho as you say. well i'm getting sleepy so i'm going to bed here soon. good night

sorry you are lonely. so glad to hear you are getting another bunny. i was wondering if you would do that.

so, you know what you want to do. now all you have to do is get out there and do it. have you called the rowing club and the orchestra yet? you can start just by making phone calls. go visit the places and see what they are like. check things out and you will get to the point that you are ready to do them.

hi, penguie,

we haven't corresponded before so please allow me to say hello and introduce myself. for now i am more comfortable sticking with my username for this site. i read your post and was touched by your words. have you moved to a new place recently? it also sounds like you have experience rowing and with music. that's so cool!!! i really hope whatever it is that is keeping you from taking the initial step of getting involved in those things is something that you can conquer asap. i know what it is like to have huge and seemingly unsurmountable obstacles keeping a distance between me and the hobbies i once persued with such fervor. craft stores totally rock, too. back to work for me tomorrow , too. i hope you get your bunny this week. that is something positive to look forward to.

12hrs and 45min and back for another shift at work. Nearly survived the first weekend here alone. Still bored and lonely though I did manage to get out and go to that craft store and walmart today. They were both crazy busy and had me wondering where I left my right mind, eeps. Can we say cart rage? Now turning to sweltering heat here so I am not a fan.
Looked up the website for the rowing club and it brought back memories of being here years ago. Part of me wonders how healthy it will be to be involved in it again considering my history in this city. Probably already down about 5 although its probably a good thing. And I think most of the orchestral stuff wont start again until septmenber. Maybe give me time to practice up again. Poor viola has lived in its case for a couple years
wanna go to bed now but still need drag self through shower since there is no way I am up early enough in morning to permit that. But all around motivation lacking, Look for me supine on the floor melting to death. Is it winter yet?
