We are coming up on Thanksgiving, and this holiday will be my first major holiday as a single-again person and the first major holiday where my daughter will not be with me. I am really not looking forward to it at all, and unfortunately, I am also not looking forward to Christmas.
This time of year has always been my favorite. I thrive on the sparkle, wonder, and warmth of this season; however, this year I am finding that I have to force myself into the season for my daughter's sake. By this point in November, my tree would normally already be up, wreaths would be on the doors and windows, and Christmas cards would be ready for mailing, but I keep delaying these necessities of the season.
To return to the more pressing holiday, I am unsure what my plans are for the holiday that is just over 1 week from now. My mother wants me to visit her 6.5 hours away even though I just got home from visiting her 4 days ago. My other option, however, is to stay here by myself and possibly get my holiday to-dos done. Either way I go, I will be terribly depressed the entire holiday weekend.
On a brighter note, I recently reconnected with a very pretty female friend from college. We are making plans to go out soon. Let's see how this goes.
