THANK YOU – ok

I read the notes and agree with you. I should keep busy. I do keep busy at times. However I also enjoy NOT having a schedule. I enjoy getting up and NOT rushing anywhere. Maybe, just maybe, this is not healthy for me.

I would like to earn some money. BUT I am just not motivated enough. I can’t think of what to do. If I got a job I would NOT be free to come and go as I want to. EXCUSE!!!!

So that is why I don’t volunteer. Anyhow instead of volunteering I probably should visit my mother more often but I find it too depressing and I have two caregivers who are there most of the day. OK!!!! I should go instead. But excuse number 345 I go to Florida for a few months and I go to the country on weekends so don’t want to fire the caregivers and then have to find new ones every time I go away.

Friends? I don’t have many and sad to say I don’t always enjoy being with them. I know!!! Why don’t I stop whining and complaining???????????????????? I have so little patience and tolerance.

Anyhow you know what triggered this last bout of POOR ME? I was talking to my hubby at supper last night about selling my paintings and three d art. I just don’t know how to go about it. I am too LAZY I guess to do anything about it. I suggested to my hubby that maybe I would sell them in Florida at the art shows. He asks me if that’s what I want to do on the weekend. Well, why not???? WE don’t do anything so special that I couldn’t participate in an art sale. I should plan things!!

Maybe I am going about this all wrong. I have a friend who keeps busy day and night. She makes all sorts of dates with friends etc – to go out to eat, to see shows etc. I enjoy staying home at night SO WHY DO I COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING A LIFE?


So I have solutions. Now all I have to do is get off my LAZY BUTT and implement them.

I have felt the same frustration with Hubs at times. I think it’s often left to the woman to make social engagements. If you want to go out, why not surprise him meet for dinner & plan something special. Look for threads of common interests to start conversations. Hubs & I enjoy reading some of the same books & discussing them I also have to find things of interest just for myself too Best wishes

Tell your hubby to turn off the damn TV and have a conversation dammit! It doesn’t have to be every night but a few times a week is needed to maintain a good relationship.My hubby and I have taken to sitting outside on the patio with a glass of wine and no distractions. I highly recommend it.
