bored and frustrated

[jay]

The frigging door is 0.75" too low...I know why, in retrospect. Drawbacks to taking a kit and modifying it to fit a smaller space. Meanwhile, for the second week in a row, I'm home on weekend evenings while my friends around here are out enjoying themselves... sigh. Not as though they'd want me around, in any case... The kitchen project is a distraction, for now, so I won't have to think about other things. I can't use the drill and move the door upward at 1:30am, too much noise, so I think I'll just go to bed. Bleh.

Weekends bite...

Try not to write off the friends... Usually it is just circumstances that keep you separated on weekend evenings. It is not a function of whether they desire your company at a given time, but more often the other factors that dictate your inclusion. Are you keeping the kids, are they keeping theirs, do they have out of town visitors, etc. It is counterproductive to view these situations as a deliberate exclusion. You may be beating yourself up for no reason, and I suspect the stress from preparing for Spain is taking its toll. The friends likely realize you are making preparations, and are trying not to interfere.

Stress was taking its toll on my attitude, certainly... but most of my friends out here don't have kids, so that's not an issue. And I'd be floored if anyone was actually taking my preparations into account! LOL...
