Once again the weekend stretches out too lonely and empty and I feel a little panicky.
Yup, I'm the person who is soon to be unemployed. I sure hope it doesn't feel like one endless empty weekend.
I have to do something different.

Home improvement time? Or a trip to the library?
I have just been faced with the fact that my future recreation needs to be free. :( So I am sometimes at a bit of a loss myself.
Fortunately, I'm so far behind at home work and at work work that I'll be busy till I die.

Yup, there's always plenty to DO. I'm actually really good at entertaining myself. The key word is 'myself'. I'm just sick of being alone so much.

T,
What kind of street do you live on?
Take your sequins, fuzzy dolls, op-art, Elvis miniatures, and Elfin paintings and set up a stand. Like selling lemonade.When I was little, we lived in a college town. My friends and I decided that we'd have a craft sale. I remember my masterpiece. It was called "Man in a Tub" and it was a margarine tub with a cut out of a man sitting in it. of course there was some sort of white fluffly stuff to be water. A college kid (Oh I'm going to hurl...he was an old guy in our perception) and I just called him a kid!!!!
Aaaaaanyway, the selling price was $0.25. i know, a little steep, but it really rocked. So this kid came along and gave us a 10 dollar bill. it was one of my best moments. EVER.
And that's a little sad.
But it's a yummy memory.Really though, I wanted to cheer you up because I don't have any good ideas. I know how horrid weekends can be. I used to commence ny dread on Thursday.
I hope you're out setting up your table. You never know who'll come by...
Love
K
have?

I dread weekends, too.
You certainly are “supposed” to look forward to them.
TGIF’s has made a fortune of the concept.
Do what you recommended me to do.
Put an add in the personals.
You, like you reminded me, deserve love as well.
Bunny slippers and all.We all do.
But placing that add is pretty humiliating in a way, huh??
Try going for ride in scenic South Central.
You might even see on of the dashboard crowns I spoke of earlier in the week:)((tabbi))

I am totally there with you - I have even developed a sort of "weekend anxiety syndrome". It begins sometimes Thursday or definitely Friday. My weekends don't usually turn out to be That Bad, but like you said, they are often quite lonely. And for me, I just don't want to really do anything... but I don't want to do nothing either. It sucks. I've started trying to be "good to myself" as everyone says, and just do things that are relaxing and somewhat fun. Like rent movies. Read. Go on walks. Drink a bottle or two of wine... okay, that's really not so good.
It's like Tony said - weekends are supposed to be so great. You hear it all over the place, on the radio especially when the DJs are saying "you've made it through the week, now it's time for a GREAT WEEKEND!!" and such. Co-workers who say they are so ready for the week to be over, and you just have to smile and nod. I definitely feel pathetic to not share in this feeling. And then coming in to work Monday and people say "what did you do this weekend?" and again, like practically every weekend, I have to say "oh not much".
Anyways. I hope that your weekend is turning out okay and you find something interesting/fun/relaxing to do.
