I'm alone all day drove from Arizona to California and stopped at two gyms and exercised and stretched along the way and at a truck Stop accidentally spent $250+ on fun stuff, truck stops have so many awesome things! I need a new dash cam and it turned out to cost $100, oops.
I was with one of my boyfriends yesterday but he made it clear I was not invited to his family gathering, 😢 and I get it, whatever, but that hollow feeling of emptiness and being uninvited anywhere in the world is an achey feeling.
Otherwise I'm feeling fantastic because every time I stop at the gym I do my physical therapy which is fixing my back pain and I've been eating healthy so
Then when I got back to California I contacted my other boyfriend and he said we could meet tonight but then an hour later he said he was tired and let's do it some other day. So I was basically alone all day but I mingled with the nice customer service people at the truck stop and saw some people at the gym, so that satisfied my biological need for human interaction today.
And my boyfriend who didn't invite me to his family gathering, his heart must have felt something because he texted me to make sure I'm doing okay today. That was nice.
Merry christmas.
