Up Early | nicoleal20's Blog


I woke up at 3:40 and have not been able to go back to sleep. I started looking at all my past moods from the last two years (almost) and I noticed I felt blah and unhappy a lot. Not much has changed either. I noticed I never put that I felt happy. SInce I really don't know what it means to be happy I have never felt comfortable using that mood.

W sent me two emails the other day. I have not opened them yet. I know. I've been doing some thinking and maybe I was a bit too hard on him. WHen I'm down I push people away too. I don't know.  SOmetimes he brings to mind a friend collector. You know, those people who just like to have a quantity of friends but never really make true, longlasting friendships. I'm not good at making friends. People tend to misunderstand me. It's not that I'm this complex being. It's just that sometimes people act as though I am not present in the room. They completely ignore me, even when I am talking to them. SO I don't talk much. Then they say I am stuck up because I am so quiet. It's a no win thing. With W, I think because we both are so sensistive we clash at times. To me he is a warm person but he thinks to much. Everything has to be evaluated and re-evaluated. Just do it already! I can be that way to sometimes, thinking too hard about things. Maybe that's why I clash with W. I see too much of myself in him and it disgusts me.

Today I must clean, much to my dismay. I have the bathroom, living room, bedroom and kitchen to do. Plus, I have laundry as well. If I start early I can be done in an hour, believe it or not. Our house is small so it doesn't take that long to clean. My husband won't be home for two more weeks. This new job is going to take some getting used to. Being out for 4 to 5 weeks at a time and then coming in for what he says will be 4 or 5 days is going to be hard for me. The feelings of abandonment start to creep up on me and I become frustrated. Plus, I don't see how he is going to be able to be out five weeks and home 5 days. That means he will lose one week of pay for every five weeks he is out. I know it is just not going to work out that way. We're barely able to save any money now. I have to play mad catchup with all of the bills for the next couple of months. As my husband and I always say, we'll manage.

I guess I could make some coffee now. more later..

Friend collector, I like that expression. I had been thinking of a name that applies in those cases an this is the perfect definition. I have seen that, off line and in here, which is obviously a reflection of what is going on out there. How can you have 1.543 friends ? I can count in one hand the true friends that I have. The rest are acquaintances and never in the those numbers !!!. So yes, it is hard to keep up with that !!. In my opinion , you ara a very loyal, honest and reliable person. You are a true friend. I like your perspective on life and the intelligent and wise way you express yourself.And I am very glad I can call you my friend.

Thank you, UC. I am honored to be your friend. I sat down and wrote W a letter, apologizing for whatever I said and then I called him, wanting to talk. I think talking online can sometimes be a hindrance to forming a strong friendship because people aren't always their true selves online. It's easy to fake happiness and true friendship. But when you hear a person's voice on a phone or speak to them in person, you get a better sense of who they are and where they're coming from. I don't know if he is going to call me back but I am sending him the letter anyway.

You shouldn't be so hard on the former president i'm sure he did the best he could at the job and can use all the friends he can get right now.......uhm you did mean that "W" didn't you???? as far as the new job for your husband goes just remember that he is probably as lonely as you are nic its tough being on the road for weeks at a time trust me i've been doing it long enough to know

LOL, no I don't mean that W, Rick. I hope my husband is a little lonely.I'll worry when he stops missing me. I know I miss him a lot..
