Some friends of mine were talking about going to a Resolve support group in their area and I started thinking. I looked up our local chapter to see what’s available… there’s one in Amherst, which is about half an hour away. It appears to meet once a month. Peer-led support group. It’s free for Resolve members and $5 for non-members (we aren’t members… need to decide if I want to do that or not). I don’t know. Driving half an hour to sit in a group with people I don’t know is a little scary to me. I mean I do have my online support groups. But sometimes I think it would be nice to have some face to face time with other people… especially people dealing with the same things we are. I don’t know if Den would go though. He might consider going if I asked him to, but I think he wouldn’t really want to go. And going alone makes me feel nervous. I wonder if most women bring their husbands?

Den’s been encouraging me to do some more scrapbooking. Unfortunately it’s an expensive hobby and I don’t want to spend more money! But it would give me something productive to do – and there’s a local scrap night that happens once a week or something. It costs $15, but again – it provides being around people and being social. I always get nervous in situations like that, but at the same time I really need it. Part of the reason I love my job is because I get to spend a few hours with other people. I like being a stay at home wife for the most part, but… sometimes it just gets hard being alone all the time. (Except for the furry butts, and while they can be great company – and they do talk back, contrary to popular belief! – they’re not human, obviously.)
