And homesick too...I miss my friends. Thank God I have all of you on MD to talk to or I'd go nuts.
Talking on the phone just isn't the same as seeing them whenever I want to...I even miss those annoying times when they would drop in for a homecooked meal just because they knew I was cooking.
I even cried this morning. I guess the whole moving to another city thing has finally hit me. 
At least I like my job.
I wanted to join the softball team. Not like I'm an olympic athlete or anything but it's too late for that now so I'll have to wait until next year...Aargh...I need something, or should I say someone to hang around with!

I can identify with the moving thing...I moved here and didn't know anyone but my hubby...and I do not make friends quickly so it's been rather lonely around here. However...the older I get the less I want to be around a lot of people so it's getting better. The gals I work with are jewels and I am becoming closer to them so that helps.
Give it time Fender....no one will be able to resist your charms..you will have a group of friends in no time

I hear you Fender, I also seem to be in that awkward crevice between nothing and everything, I hand over my house today. Not sure what the future has in store for me, but I am starting out with a hangover. 
Things will get better, you will find someone to cook for... in and out of the kitchen!

Thanks...I guess I'm just used to having friends over and doing things with them...I don't even have anyone to go to the mall with...Shopping isn't as much fun when you don't have someone to laugh with and go eat lunch with. I feel like a loser when I am sitting there eating lunch by myself...
People are like, ewwwwwwwwww look at her,lol.........

Some years ago I moved to Mass to look for work .... stayed with people I knew out there, but still it wasn't easy .... much as I thought I'd be ok with it, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be .... friends do you good, but family is definitely a difference maker.

What about joing the local recreational facility, where there are year round sports? And classes and get-aways?

Ah poor you. As a mother reading that it is heartbreaking. I would love to give you a big hug. We have all been lonely at some stage in our lives, even in a crowd. Trust me I have been there. And yes it will get better. Get involved in community groups and sports. They are great ice breakers. Best wishes.

I also seem to be in that awkward crevice between nothing and everything,
What a great way to word it...and exactly what I'm going through now as well.
Are there any meet-ups in your area? A smart lady here on MD recommended that I check those out here, and so far, I've signed up for 3.

There are no meets and greets where I live...I checked out the people from MD for where I lived now...There is one lady, she is about 65 and I've never chatted to her, or seen her in the blogs or forums...Maybe I should hit her up,lol...
I was thinking of volunteering for something if I had the time...At least that would be a social activity. I'm not really religious but it's a good idea Jankia. Thanks all. I was thinking Catechism Co-Ordinator, they need one. You know, for Sunday school. I know I don't seem like the Sunday school type, but I could be.

Oh boy, Fender does that bring back memories! 15 years ago I bought a mobile home and moved to a park out in the country, 25 miles from where I was living. At the time, it was long distance to call my old friends (now it isn't) so I couldn't even call them very often. The people here in the trailer park are not very outgoing and friendly. I say "hi" to 3 people here--and that's after 15 years! But I am much closer to work now so I can spend some time with friends from work. My mom moved here in '97 and moved in just down the road from me, so I had someone to go shopping with, etc. But she passed away 8 years ago and so now I'm back to where I was. I do have some friends in the area now though and there are still my friends at school.
I promise Fender, it will get better. Just hang in there.

A year ago, I moved out here to Cali and I still haven't settled in. I've actually been playing around with the idea of moving back to where my folks are, just because I miss that support network. And also because there's nothing like sitting on the sunporch with your momma drinking a hot cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon.
It's not working for me, Fender, but I sure hope it works for you...Virtual hugs coming your way!
