OK, it's week 8 of the career sabbatical-- and I've officially got too much time on my hands.
I'm feeling strong impulse to fall back on my old coping mechanisms-- drinking and trying to whip up romantic/sexual intrigue where there's little chance of payoff.
I'm just bored and lonely. My time-off plan doesn't have enough fun stuff in it. I can't do this house puttering cleanup cleanout fixup stuff all day long and all evening. I have regular activities 3 times a week but it isn't enough. Doesn't fill enough time.
How do I have fun? Without adequate companionship. Without spending a bundle. Without self-destructive activities. Nothing sounds appealing but the bad stuff.
Probably should do that phone session with the therapist. Crud.
