How the H@LL did I let myself get into this mess? Several months ago I agreed to take my son and D in law and Grands to visit her family in Ohio. They don't have a car, and it is 5 hours away. I kept praying for snow so I would have an excuse not to drive and spend most of this Sunday with a large family gathering where I know only my kids. It will be too cold to go for a long walk or wait in the car. Oh Agony. The only thing that might save me is there is football all day Sunday. Bound to be a TV on somewhere where I can sit and have an excuse not to talk to anyone.
My late wife absolutely loved going to things like this. Wish I was more like that.
Oof, that’s rough. What possessed you agree such a thing? Sometimes I’ll say yes stuff when I’m having a really good day but then I always end up regretting it when the time comes. But I have no shame ~ I’ll straight up claim be sick or whatever get out of it if I need . And it’s not really a lie ~ the anxiety & drain I suffer when interacting too much with people is detrimental to my health & well-being, and sometimes “me” & my needs have to come before others
