How are you feeling?

^ Why not? And welcome to SPW!

I am still awake. I'm going to try and go to sleep, though.

I have a friend that wants one of my old bicycles. I told her I was at my mother's house (nowhere near her) and I would bring it on Thursday night. In truth, I am at my dad's (very near her) and was planning on going to my mom's on Thursday afternoon. So I've got myself caught in a bit of a lie here. I hate that I just can't tell her that I don't want her to come over to my house. I guess I'll just have to invent another story that will fit my schedule. I feel like I've spun so many lies in my life to cover up my fears. I look forward to a day when lying isn't my first instinct.

Stressed and anxious. My boyfriend has been really stressed lately, so he hasn't been able to watch my son (he usually does while I'm at work). If he is unable to this week, I won't have child care for three of the 5 days I work, as well as the first day of summer school (I'm going back to college). I have very few other options for child care, and I am in the hole from having to pay for an hourly rate day care the past week (I was hoping by now he'd feel better after a week break, but I guess not...)

Have you asked at the summer school if they have any crèche options? Is there anyone at work who has kids who go to child care who wouldn't mind a share for the week? You could offer to pay half?

I would absolutely say something on Friday, because if you miss out then, you're going to kick yourself for a long time. It's a scary thing to do but all you need is 10 seconds of courage. I'm positive he will reciprocate if you guys are both flirting.

Keep your fingers crossed for me and send me positive thoughts so that the right words come out of my mouth and not the usual silly things that leave people thinking I'm stupid, please!

Sadly, I think I have missed out somewhere. This has been going on for a number of years. We see each other , we flirt. He has hinted a few times eg asking me to cook for him, but I didn't take him on because I wasn't sure if he was being serious. He has never directly asked me out though. I did try today. I tried to hint that he could come and see my new car, after all, it was he who suggested what car would suit me, but he didn't seem to be taking me on. I don't get to try agin til Friday when I get my hair done (because he owns the hairdressers) and if I don't do something then, then I won't see him again for ages. I used to just go up to men and smile and they would ask me out or I would. I don't know what happened as that all seems to have disappeared. I think I screwed up somewhere along the line. Thanks for listening people, I have no friends to talk to about this stuff. Xx

It sounds as though you both like one another, but are unsure whether the other feels the same way. One of you needs to take the initiative and ask the other one out on an actual date, and Friday looks like the ideal chance for you to be that person. :) The worst thing that can happen is that he says no, but from what you've described so far I really don't think that will happen.

Hope you're able to do it. Good luck!

^ I understand. I've actually done that a lot throughout my life, and it makes me sad that I feel I can never fully be truthful about those things with the people around me. It's either lying or looking for excuses to use so I can avoid certain situations. I hate it, yet at the same time it's somewhat relieving.

Sad, lonely, tense. I hate going to work tomorrow so much, wish I could run away from it all ::(: Such a sad sad life, no joy or happiness.

I know the feeling. I'm dreading going to work tomorrow, too. Especially since I'm doing a shift that involves working with a rude coworker longer than I normally do.

I don't not have any joy in my life at all, thankfully. I look for the little things to enjoy, and keep myself occupied so I don't think TOO much, haha. But I wish I could run away, too. Sometimes my life just feels so empty, no matter how I try to fill it up, because I am not happy with MYSELF.

At least you're not alone in feeling that way...

Not too bad, wasted the whole weekend programming on the computer again, but MOn and Tue are both bank holidays so I get another 2 days off!

Tired and annoyed. Had only 3 hours of sleep last night because I accidentally took my meds in the morning. I thought after months of sleeping peacefully at night that my body is accustomed to sleeping earlier. Nope. I guess I still need my meds to help me put to sleep.

I feel confused. Why are so many British people excited about the Queen's carnival? I never knew what was so exciting about waving flags at her...
