Blue day

[mamagotcha]

I know it's still a time of transition and settling, and it's the middle of winter, and I'm kinda isolated with the boys, and I'm not very high energy right now...

but I feel like I've been going to homeschooling, SCA, knitting and other gatherings, and really trying to meet people, and the few I've felt drawn to I'm trying very hard not to alienate by being too desperate for adult companionship... and I haven't really felt that any of them are really drawn to me, just kinda like they're being nice to me 'cause I'm new here (for which I'm immensely grateful, don't get me wrong!)...

I don't think any of the people I've met in Chicago even read my LJ.

Just feeling a little down, lonely, sad.

Wow. I feel like that, and I've lived here for 15+ years.

I have a hard time making friends. When I first moved here I knew a lot of people from college, and they've been moving away ever since.

I keep telling myself that THIS WEEK I'll finally get to that knitting group that meets every Wednesday less than a mile from my house, but when I get home from work it's hard to leave again. (That, plus Bean has no interest in going there and it's hard to leave and know she's alone at home.)

So.... THIS WEEK I'm going to get my ass to that group. I popped up in their Rav group to ask about it, so now someone actually expects me. Maybe that'll do it.

GO YOU! And come back here and tell us what it's like, okay?
