Rotten stinking weekend..
Hey folks, had a rotten weekend--originally had great plans, BUT (of course there's always a "BUT" in my life) they were ruined because Saturday my computer had a virus, was on the phone the entire day with Microsoft. After the telephone and remote maratons, I became even more depressed, I guess because it was a nice day and I was stuck in the house on the phone all day, the only conversations were with the Microsoft people in the Phillipines, whoppeee. Then it dawned on me how lonely I was. My daughter lives with me, but she's either in work or school all the time & never home. I was depressed the rest of the time after Saturday. Luckily, a guy I know saved the day and took me out. Thank goodness because I was THAT bad.
I used to have lots of friends. Now they call infrequently, they're wrapped up with their own little bags of crap. I do tons of things to keep busy, but on my own. I'm getting older and it's even harder (impossible) bonding with new people. I tried volunteering, meet-ups, etc. You have to bond with someone to make a friendship, but no one seems to want to bond.
Is this how it ends???? I'd hate to think that. On the lighter side, someone told me today that there's a senior housing complex near their friend's house in Georgia called "Journey's End". Not "Meadow Pointe" or "Whispering Pines" or REAL cheerful place, huh? Now why'd they name a senior complex something like that?? Was it a pun or what?? Is it REALLY journey's end??
