I guess I have to kick my butt a little bit

I am on a vacation week here. Work is my one regular 'social interaction' and when I am alone I tend


to find it hard to initiate action...it has slowly gotten more and more of a barrier


... It's hard to be alone at times but then it's hard to be with folks.


I think I am going to kick my butt into gear a bit. I make myself go to work - so maybe if I make myself


do stuff in my free time it would be as motivating as well. My little sister said a wise thing..: "It takes a few


minutes to warm up" and that's true...It takes me a little while to warm up to everyone at work when I go there


in the mornings - so maybe I should just apply that logic to my time alone when I initiate stuff I need and want


to do. Weirdness.

Big hug for you sweetie..... I hope you have some nice you time on your holiday....

Well I know you like Starbucks so what about starting by taking yourself out for coffee

Is there any MeetUp's you'd like to go to in your area?

thanks Jan! Yes I imagine there are some meetups. There's also the Meditation classes. I have to clean the apartment big time too. So that should keep me active. Friday I take my parents out for lunch.

Maybe go ten pin bowling? Or tour a museum? Or to the theatre? A movie? A restuarant? If it's affordable that is. If not I recommend a good book. The library or cruise some second hand bookshop for something based on a long lost treasure--like The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes maybe! See whats the best value you can find. I found them delivered in the states for $3.48 in a quick search.

thanks MoobusT! I like the idea of bowling. I don't mind if I play a game or two on my own. :) I am trying to conserve $$ but bowling sounds goood.

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
