So bummed alone again for another week

awww, I’m sorry! Hope you have a peaceful, relaxing (not sad!) week.

Also, I was going to PM you. My cookies arrived today! So exciting. Thank you!

We’re here for you. (((Hugs))).

We'll keep you company. What do you like to do that will fill your time? Do you like to rent movies? Read? What can you do for yourself that will help the week to pass quickly?

I just looked at your etsy, I love your cookie decorating kits. I gotta get on it next year, it's just the thing my grown son and I would do together with a glass of two of wine!

No, I didn’t open the box yet. Was out this afternoon. I’ll open it tomorrow and believe me, that Santa pea is MINE!! Thanks so much ... even more special.

trollie, I’ll post a picture.

I was away last week taking care of my friend who had hip replacement surgery. My husband said he hated being at the house alone and was glad to have me home. I get your feelings. When you're used to having someone around and enjoy them being there, it does feel lonely when they're gone.

Post here more while he's gone and your cookie orders are down. We're always up to chatting about just about anything!

It seems like an especially lonely time of year to be alone. But you are never truly alone when you are a Pea.
Have you decorated?
Are you listening to Christmas music?
I see you might go to your sister’s to bake... since you bake for work, do you find that you don’t bake for fun?
Do you make any wonderful Christmas dinner desserts?

I’m not feeling a bunch of Christmas joy this year, but I’m working on it.
I haven’t decorated as I haven’t been well enough to haul out the boxes, but that is being worked on.
I started listening to Christmas music.. a mix of vintage records and Spotify.
It’s always my job to make the Yule Log for Christmas dinner... we fill ours with coffee whipped cream. This year I’d like to decorate it a little fancier than I normally do, but haven’t found quite the right inspiration yet. Meringue mushrooms have been on my bucket list for a few years, but I admit all of the example images I’ve looked up of meringue mushroom covered Yule Log look appetizing in absolutely zero regard.

I understand your feelings of being alone and the whole Christmas spirit thing. 

Is it possible for you to bake some of your fabulous cookies and give them to a senior center or to a homeless shelter?

I am alone due to life circumstances and it is very difficult to get into the Christmas spirit.  (((hugs))) from me to you. 

My husband travels a lot for work, too, but I knew that before I married him 20 years ago. I still miss him as much as I did when we were newlyweds. Everyone is different in terms of how well they do spending time alone. I'm sorry you're having such a bad time. I'm not nuts about it, but I take time to do things I really enjoy, like quilting, reading, and paper crafting. That makes the time pass more enjoyably. Being alone makes me all the more happy when my man IS home. I don't take him for granted like some of my friends do their husbands. Hang in there and best wishes for a happier holiday season!

Welcome to my world for the next 18 months. My husband is work8ng 2.5 hours away and neither of us like the location enough to make a temporary move,

I find I have to keep either the radio or the tv on all day so I don’t end up talking to myself! You have an advantage over me- family close by. We have gotten into the Christmas spirit by spending the weekend making candy and cookies to give to his co-workers and our friends. I will the evening cleaning the mess.

So freaking adorable Lovebug2867 !  Thanks for posting that Lucy. I wouldn't want to eat it either!!

Yeah, I may have to save that one pea cookie. 

I know how you feel. Or at least I did know. I was in a long-distance relationship for a couple months. It was supposed to go on a bit longer than that but I have since moved to his town. Being separated from the one you love is pretty difficult. We will not be together for Christmas and he and I are both somewhat sad about that but we will be together for New Year’s so that is something we are looking forward to. Try to keep yourself busy and hopefully he will be with you soon.
