Today was a tough day. I did a poor job of finding something to do for New Years Eve and I've been alone all day. I learned a couple of things.
First, have a plan and follow the plan. I had planned to work all day - that would have helped a lot. I still could have planned something to do tonight, I'm not sure why I didn't reach out to anyone. That was a failure.
So for next weekend, when I won't have the kids, I planned a spiritual retreat. That will help check off those days. Then two weeks from then, I planned a trip to FL for the 5 days I don't have the kids. That effectively will get me through the month of January.
I've been taking in some Richard Cooper and Elliot Hulse. I'm not sure what I make of that. Its interesting.
I get the kids tomorrow at 10am which will help me with feelings of loneliness. I'm hoping that as we get back to normal work weeks I won't struggle as much with feeling lonely.
