Chat, check-in, and hang out

Need more bookshelves, though. I have a dozen more boxes of the bloody things.

Mind you keep the combustibles at some distance from that stove!

As I unpack I have come to realise that about a third of all my possessions were thrown out.

I was already heartbroken by everything else that's happening, so this is just a dull 'ohhh...'.

I hate life so much.

Its nice to see you've put a Christmas tree up and decorations. I never usually bother so maybe I should bother

I destroyed my apartment last year and lost a lot of things. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but soon you wont even remember them.

All my favourite jumpers are missing. And my running shoes. So much is gone. My bloody TV, for a start, and almost all my clothes.

One of the paramedics who took me in this morning is ex-army and wants to stay in touch to help me with adjusting to the world between contracts.

That sounds like a very good thing to happen. The more friends the better.

Yes you need good “ mirrors” about, who help for helping, not expecting anything from you x

She was very nice. We're Facebook friends now.

Me being me, of course, I must confess to being a little disappointed to learn that she's married. To a woman. So definitely just friends.

Yeah, I am double posting, but this place is keeping me from going doolally, so sue me.

I spent most of today in a mental health charity centre crying my eyes out.

Tonight, though? I'm in the pub flirting with anything that doesn’t get out of the way fast enough.

The last one was going really well; she was touching my arm, she bought me a drink and was leaning in to talk to me so close that I could feel our hair touching each other.

Then she says 'my husband...'

Yes, I'm a terrible person, because that didn't deter me...just because there's a goalie doesn’t mean you can't score, right?
Yeah, you can't hate me more than I do.

...then she gestures to where he is sitting.

I reached down between my legs and started feeling for the black and yellow handle on the bar stool, you know?

But, yeah, like I said to her because she asked, my coping mechanisms are beer and women.

I wonder if I should hang out in bars. What’s it like for a Middle Ages grey-haired woman who doesn’t wear makeup and looks sad/angry/afraid?

 

[Paladin_141]

Depends on the establishment and the crowd, I suppose.

Pubs are the 'third space' that the internet always says no longer exists. Always a few people who just don't want to sit at home. In a good place, you'll be left alone unless you don't want to be.

Edit: the next girl approached me, ate two handfuls of my crisps then kissed me before being dragged away by another woman.

She was pretty and funny, but too drunk to be fair game.

@Rose White , was thinking of doing the same meself. Grey hair who cares x

 

[FMCA]

I don’t know if many women go the pub on their own these days, that’s my excuse anyway
