So far today, I've done a great job of pretending I have a life, but not really having one.
Sometimes just the illusion of getting a life is OK. Fake it till you make it, right? Sounds like you have a lot of good GAL activities going on otherwise.
At MC, my W asked me if I could start making a list of our personal property this weekend, and I kinda rubbed my head like I was thinking about it and said "I can try but I don't think I'll have a chance to get to it this weekend." I'm sure she thinks I'm süper busy, but I have no plans tonight or last night in reality. Just the act of being unavailable is sometimes enough.
Not saying that actually getting a life is unimportant, because it really is. But the illusion of it is enough to the WAS sometimes.
