CATCH TWENTY TWO – OK
Tonight I was complaining to my hubby that all the friends we have are BORING and very dull people. I guess they are lucky because they are content to sit at home and do nothing. My hubby is lucky too. He spent all day doing a jigsaw puzzle. I on the other hand am not lucky. I want to always be doing something or going somewhere. Ok? Maybe not all the time but some of the time especially when we are here at the trailer. Last night I invited friends to play Canasta so they came over. Tonight I didn’t say anything so nothing happened. I was online from about seven to ten. Then hubby and I decided to go to bed. I knew I wasn’t tired yet but what else could I do? I didn’t bring any hobbies this weekend because we are closing up. But of course I couldn’t fall asleep so got up. I packed the chips from the cupboard. The food I already packed earlier. Tomorrow all I have to do are the two freezers. Hubby has a lot to do and moves a lot slower so maybe I will help him.
Back to friends. Most of the time I am happy alone. I don’t look to call friends or even be with friends. On the other hand I need and want people to do things with. I use to have two couples that were balls of fire and we were constantly on the go. Too much sometimes. Now it is the complete opposite. We have no active friends. One couple is always willing to go out for supper but that’s it.
It’s a little frustrating and I know I am thinking way ahead. I think about being here next year. We won’t have a soul to do anything with. At night they’re happy watching a movie. It’s good for them but not for me. I watch TV at home. I don’t need to come here to watch TV. I don’t have anyone to craft with. The only couple who we had supper with and played cards with sold their trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby is happy doing his puzzle. Then on Saturday afternoon he has his buddies for drinks. My friends spend Saturday and Sunday shopping and returning and returning and shopping. It makes me crazy and leaves me alone.
I can’t see any solution.
My old friend who we don’t get together with anymore has a new best friend. Boy are they ever active. I wish I could join them but I don’t think hubby would want to and I don’t know if they would want us. They are always eating supper together, going on trips etc. Tonight they were going to the synagogue in Plattsburgh. I don’t know if I would have gone with but at least they were doing something!!!!!!!!!!!
I know some of it is my fault as I am not overly friendly – that is I DON’T PUT MYSELF OUT THERE AND a lot of the time I am happy alone.
Like I wrote it’s a catch 22 because I want to be alone; I want to be with friends. HELP!
