My Life Thus Far

Isolated

I've come to the conclusion that I'm incapable of successfully juggling a work life, a family life and a social life all at one time. Something always suffers and in this case, it's my social life. I don't have one. Not only do I not have a social life, the few people I consider my friends don't talk to me (because I don't talk to them) and since I hardly spend any time on Facebook anymore, I don't even have that as a means of communication. At times I feel bad about it and want to reach out, but then I wonder how. My closest friend and I haven't seen or really spoken since her baby was born and he's 6 months old now. How do you rekindle a stalled friendship? I don't know... It makes me sad that the only people I associate with on a regular basis are coworkers and only at work. It's not that I don't have time to socialize. I seem to choose not to. If I'm not at work, I'm home with the family. There's nothing wrong with that. It would just be nice to have at least a couple friends. Instead of being on the outside looking in :(

Other than feeling a little isolated, I'm doing well. I feel content in the aspects of my life that are going well (work and family). My mood is contemplative at the moment (which is causing people to ask me what's wrong, because I'm quieter than usual). I've been thinking a lot about the future. Snookums is coming to a crossroads in his life and since he's my husband, this of course affects me. I don't feel like talking about it (mainly because it causes me to worry probably more than is healthy or even necessary). We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for us.

I'm really proud of the progress Snookums is making. I mentioned that he's been working out and eating healthier. Well, he's sticking with it. It's been 3 solid weeks and he's still going strong. I know that doesn't seem like long, but for him it's incredible. He usually falls off the wagon a few days in. I wish him all the success he wishes for himself. No one wants him to reach his goals more than I do!
