Dismal. Bleak. Sad. I’m so tired of my own gloomy nature. My blog is so freaking depressing, if I were a reader I’d probably contemplate a hose, an exhaust pipe and a garage door right about now.

I apologize. I don’t know how to dig myself out of this, I’m still so low and sad, sad, sad all the time. Exercise has hit a plateau for bringing me up, it can only lift me so high for so long before I tumble back (and I may be entertaining a little compulsive behavior that I don’t have the stamina for in the long run.) Nights are still the worst. I am afraid to see my next cell phone bill, I may need to increase my minutes… mental note to do that today.

No personal progress. Work is hard, I’ve hit a wall here and don’t know what to do with myself. Art jobs are hard to come by and I’ve got a pretty good one (on paper) and don’t know of other prospects.

Repainting- stalled. Not so much fun by myself. Nothing is fun by myself and I’m so lonely. Knitting, started a bit, now stalled a tad. The joy of the activity may be irrevocably lost, I just don’t know yet.

I think I’m wallowing now. But I don’t have time to wallow. I have a show to do. I can’t keep up the appearance of having myself all “together” forever, maybe this is where I crash and burn.

I sure hope not. I’m of the feeling that no man is worth totally losing it, no matter how much I want to give in a little and be an unwashed mumbling to myself mess. I’ve already lost so much- my self esteem, my faith, trust, hope and love- I’m simply refuse to lose my professionalism and respect. He just can’t have it.

Ok. Keeping it together (ish.) Positive thoughts the rest of the day, okay?

this will sound VERY lame, but I actually thought of it two days ago. I hate to do stuff by myself, I’m a total nerd that way. I really want to work out in my backyard, pull a few weeds and stuff.. prune some branches… if you are interested in coming over some sunday morning or afternoon and like to do that sort of thing we can go out in the back with something yummy to drink and some cute gardening hats and have some fun girl time. I keep meaning to go out there but it just seems so hard to find motivation if I’m by myself so if you want company I am here. I can bribe you with yarn as I have a bunch I am thinking about destashing/giving away.

Susan Says:

Oh, Sweet Amanda,
I am sure you have lost your trust in some, but whatever you do don’t loose your faith or your hope or ability to love….Not all men are this way, and there is someone in your future awaiting…I am sure of that…Your faith & hope will keep you going until that dark cloud disappears one day….It takes TIME to get over loss….It takes staying busy, filling your days with
people that will bring you “up” mentally and that will not say negative things about your past relationship…You are so loved by so many and we are blessed to have you! We all get down and you are talking to the queen of depression…Please, please, please if you need to talk or get away or do anything call me berfore you let yourself get down to low….You can call me at ANY hour of the day or night ( I am a night owl) and I will be happy to talk to you….Come to knitting Saturday…We are going to eat at Oddles around 12:30 and then go to Panera….I would love to see you….Susan I bet Shari would join me helping you paint….
