Not Engaged Yet

Tired of the Blah... I need something... (vent)

Okay, so I know I've been MIA lately, a lot of that is due to the lack of ability to get on TK while at work anymore :(

But lately I've been really out of it - and no one to talk to about it - so even if no one comments, it is nice to be able to just type it all out.

1) I withdrew from my Wednesday class, and I'm still feeling weird about it. It was the best thing for me, but it's still an "ick" feeling.
2) Work is great - busy and crazy, but it's starting to slow down for fall/winter and I am really enjoying my job.
3) My BFF just had her baby on Sunday, a boy, named Logan - and I had to find out through FB, by someone else. I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but this girl is like my sister. Her mom, DH - No one kept me updated. I knew she was having weird contractions on Saturday, but that was it. So my feelings were really hurt, and then I felt bad that my feelings were hurt over something like this.
4) BF is on my asss about working out 3 times a week in the next month or so. He's convinced we are going to get a joint gym membership and he is going to work out with me. I have no motivation, no desire, no anything to have anything to do with this. Do I need to get in better shape? Yes. Do I give a rats asss at this moment? No. But God forbid I say anything, because then it turns into a fight. Usually ending up with me feeling uber small. BF says it's just because he cares about me, and doesn't want me to end up having health issues like my mother, and his mother, but still. The long and short of it is - I don't really have much "Give a d@mn" for anything as of late.
5) My sister is off at MSU (about an hr away) - and without her, I have no one to talk to, hang out with, or go anywhere with. Most of the people I previously spent time with, like to party waaaay more than I do. (I know I've brought this up before, but again - I'm in a weird funk, and I don't know what to do).
6) I don't sleep well - ever. I wake up at 4:30-5:30 every day and that's it - i'm awake, but exhausted and sleepy aaaaaall day. I can't go back to sleep. It's sucktastic.
7) BF keeps changing plans. This is a favorite past time of his, I swear. Whether it's housing situations, money situations, car situations, job situations.... all of it at once, a combination or two or more - shiit is always changing and it drives me bonkers!! (which ADD side note - Bonkers was a great show - maybe that isn't what it was called, but that was the character) Anyways, Nothing stays the same for longer than 2 weeks, and it's ridiculous.
8) BF told me once he was back on his shot and feeling better, he would help more around the house. Do you think this has happened?? NOOOOOO. He takes out the trash, and picked up a game the other day from when he friend came in from Detroit for the night. That does not constitute helping around the house.
9) Household stuff is killing me. I have laundry piled waaaay higher than my laundry hamper, and no time to do anything about it.

*sigh* Okay, I'm done for now..

    Aw, I'm sorry. That sounds like a lot to deal with. But, you get cool points in my book for liking Bonkers. I love the opening music for that show, lol. And I'm glad work is going well for you.

    Maybe you and your BF can compromise. You make an effort to go to the gym as long as he makes an effort to help clean up the house. Maybe lunar could give you some advice on some sleep aid supplements. I can't remember at the moment what the one I'm thinking of is called, but it could help.

    I know how you feel about having no one to talk to too. Since I moved an hour away I feel so out of touch with my family and friends. It really helps having you girls to talk to, but IRL friends are kinda good too, lol. I haven't figured that one out, so no advice but I know what you mean.

    I'd also be hurt about the baby thing, but I'm sure she has a TON of things on her mind right now and is really distracted, understandably. I do get where you're coming from though.

    As for the class, it may feel weird, but at least it's one less thing to worry about. And another happy thing to focus on is our NEY G2G coming up in the new year and I'll get to meet you and CCO! : )

    I hope you feel better. Feeling in a funk is definitely not fun. **hugs**

    You probably know which question I'm going to ask, hm?
    Have you started your 5HT-P and multi-vitamin, love?

    I hate the your BF is being lame about exercising. I've been in a relationship like that. Sometimes I felt the "I care about your health" was just a cover for "I'm tired of the way you look." Have you had discussions with your BF about trying to focus on your mental health right now too? (And of course you know that exercising probably would help with that too, but it's hard when you are feeling lousy).

    Are there any physical activities you do enjoy? Like...walking? Maybe geocaching if you really want to geek out? http://www.geocaching.com/ I'd also tell your BF, "Maybe I would have more time to go to the gym if I didn't have to do ALL the laundry! HINT, HINT."

    Also- Have you looked to see if any meetups interest you in your area? I've met some fabulous friends through Meetup.

    ::hugs::

    You always have us to talk to.

    You, my friend, need a pint of Ben & Jerry's, a mani/pedi, and some time alone with a glass of wine and a vibrator.

    Just saying.

    Oh Irish!  *hugs*

    I am sorry that no one told you about your best friend's baby, that would hurt me too.  I would talk to her gently about it when she isn't as stressed.

    I really really don't like that BF is on your ass about that....  I think you said you were like a size 8 or 10 and let me tell you that is NOT big or unhealthy at all.  (hell that is my size and I know it’s different for each person’s height)  Really He needs to knock that off.  Have you talking to him about it?  And I really think you need to revisit the chores things again, he needs to help you out.  As always I am always here to talk or rant!  *hugs*  You are a super woman!
