This morning I can't stop crying. After quite a nice weekend I'm back on my own, and no plans. I feel stuck. Everyone's talking about holidays, but I don't have anyone to go with and I can't face going alone. Anyway, I can't leave my dog as she's very nervous since my husband died, and I stupidly can't drive. It all.seems so hopeless. I know I sound pathetic. I'm trying hard to be positive but not today. They're all back to work, busy busy, and I can't pull myself together. Yet another black hole. Huge wave. Whatever. These setbacks get harder to overcome every time.
