Got out of work today at 2:30p, and the outdoor temp in my truck read -8°F (-22°C). It doesn't really feel that bad until you've been standing in it for more than a minute or so though. Stopped off for gas on the way home & ended up standing outside my truck for a few minutes & damn if my ears didn't almost get frostbit (I recognize it from the winter riding I do). I got back in the truck and realized that the temp I saw when I 1st got in at work was wrong - it was actually -10°F (-23°C)!
Guess who's not going for a run tonight? Guess who's also not going to bother with shoveling the driveway again?
On another topic, I'm having a dilemma. This weekend will be February, and the end of 'Dry January'. I'm torn between wanting to go to my local pub & catch up with some of the people I haven't seen; buying a 6-pack of a good micro-brew for home & enjoying one or two, or skipping either & sticking with the the 'Dry' theme. My current order of choice? 1) 6-pack @ home, 2) continued 'Dry', 3) local pub.
The thing about the pub is, the people I'd be looking forward to seeing/talking with again all have my cell number & could've called/texted me any time this month; They obviously didn't, and I'm not sure if that's because they didn't want to, or just didn't think to. Either way, it gives me the impression that I'm not really important to them. That's fine, I don't fault anyone for that, but then I have to wonder, is it worth my time to reconnect with people who can't be bothered to find out what I've been up to for the last month? Doesn't seem like those are people I need in my life.
On the other hand, I have zero social life aside from bars/pubs. They're convenient, as I never know whether I'll be up for going out or not on any given evening. What else can I do to find friends, that doesn't require a set commitment of specific times/dates? I guess another way to look at it would be, do you think that kind of casual socializing might be enough to stave off the loneliness/isolation of constantly staying home?
As I said, I'm torn. Open to thoughts, if you'd care to share them. :-)
