Trying to get used these weekends on my own.

I haven't been on my own in a number of years. My daughter is back in school for the year and as you know my love Elise has left me for a new life in California. Someone at the D.C. Divorce Support Meetup group asked me what I do for fun and what came to mind was spending time with my family. Hmm, leaves me kinda stuck. Of course there are a lot of diverse and esoteric interests that I have but the foundation of most of it was the Kevin, Elise, & Helen power treo. To be honest it is intimidating to go out on my own in this still new and strange city and get involved. I am going meetup.com crazy and volunteered for an ACLU training next weekend. The reality is that my time is limited after studies, work, and oh yea that mental health thing. I don't know what to say except this is not what I expected. I expected to be married to Elise Burrows, buying a house, starting a career, a couple of pugs Pretty boring. It makes me sad, it makes me lonely. So I try to remain positive, focused and involved. To rememeber the important things I have like friends and family (wish they were closer), reasonable financial security and comfort, and making positive changes in my life.

Any comments, thoughts, and especially hugs sent my symbolically or in person would make a world of difference.
