Someone just asked me what my holiday weekend
plans are. When I gave them an answer - on Saturday, I will try to bury the
pain and loneliness under a mound of food (probably Chinese); on Sunday, if the
pain and loneliness is still there (if?), I will try to drown it in alcohol; Monday
is laundry – they were quite indignant. Look, I am not going to sugarcoat
anything for anybody – if you’re upset by the fact that I am so vocal about how
miserably lonely my life can be at times, that’s your problem. As someone once
said about me: “All you need to know about M. is this: if you don’t want the
answer, don’t ask the question.”
I get similar crap about my holiday weekend plans--but for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteThem: What are you doing for the holiday?
Me: Nothing.
Them: Like, are you going to the mountains, or the zoo, or something fun like that?
Me: No. I am going to sit in my house and watch TV and read books and sleep in and do my crafting.
Them: But, why? You have a three-day weekend?
Me: Exactly.
But I'm sorry you're so lonely. Sending hugs your way!
