Hi Mike!
I'm really pissed right now cuz my time expired and I have to type this all over again, BUT.....thats okay....
I hope I remember all I said....Prolly what you are expieriencing is a combination of lonliness and depression, which you can BET that this being the Holiday Season....you are going to expierience being in the situation you are in. Losing someone in your life so close to you, and missing them....and this goes for ANY situation when you are missing someone so terribly for whatever reasons!
One of the reasons I got Racie last weekend, I missed not having my dogs around all the time. They come when I get Caitlin 3 nights a week(and I'm not having any more babies!) so I got the puppy! SHE HAS BEEN GREAT! They are a GREAT diversion!!!! I"m not telling you to go out and get a puppy, but they do say that dog owners tend to have lower blood pressure and be generally happier....And when you see that cute little face, you just gotta smile! Its like having a baby in the house again, but she is really great and makes everything better!
As far as your shyness...thats just your personality. And, you SHOULD make those phone calls when your wanting to go out or want company. The more you do it, the more you will be comfortable with it. Be sure to let your friends know how you feel and to call you when somethings going on ..I"m SURE they will understand!!!!!
Also, if you have any projects around your house you've been wanting to do, NOW would be a good time to do them, or start them....It keeps your mind busy, and is a GREAT sense of accomplishment when you have it done! I'm contemplating dragging my Xmas Stuff out of the attic after I get my Lotto Ticket for tonight out of Racies mouth!
Find some of your favorite music and CRANK IT WAAAAAAY UP!!!! OR....go to the Video Store, rent ALL OF CHEECH AND CHONGS MOVIES...make you a drink and watch them....I guarentee, that'll make you smile!!!! We were talking about that at Autorama yesterday....I might go get them myself soon, have not seen them in a long time!
AND...if you ever wanna talk, I think youve got my #'s....also, you need to PM me your addy again...I need to pay bills tomorrow, and I NEED to get the $10 I owe you for the video in the mail! I PROMISE...i'm not a mooch!
REALLY, If you ever wanna talk, pleeeez dont hesitate to call me!!!!! Have a great evening!!!! Talk to you soon!

THIS SHOULD MAKE YOU SMILE!!!!
