They used to be my favorite day of the week. Dan and I would spend all day together: go to church; take a nap; eat dinner at his family's house. They were good days.
Now I dread Sundays. Most everyone I know goes home to their family's on Sundays. I'm done with church at noon so I have an entire day to fill alone. It's sad.
Today I slept in (maybe on purpose) and went to a ward that meets later in the day. It was in the Avenues in this very old ward building that's supposedly one of the first built by the pioneers. The chapel had a balcony level. I sat in it, but it was super uncomfortable because my knees were hitting the pew in front of me. Apparently those pioneers were quite short.
I came home. Laid on my bed for a while, iChatted with Jen, Mom, Lilly and Caleb.
Laid on my bed some more. Downloaded some music off iTunes (used a gift certificate) and then folded some laundry.
I needed to get out of my apartment so I took a drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Then I came back and cleaned out my car.
I flipped through the IKEA catalog. Picked out all the things I'd like to buy but won't because I am determined to not spend money on anything other than absolute necessities.
I took a bubble bath and ate some Skittles.
And then I went over to my new house, signed a month-to-month contract, and put down a deposit. That was exciting.
I can't wait to move.
Hopefully my Sundays get better.

Hey you. Sorry to hear you're going through a rough time (though that sounds SO inconsequential and insufficient.) I can't offer anything from here but the knowledge that you're in my thoughts and prayers.
Big hugs.
Ooh, driving the Canyon... I used to do that in Utah. On hard days. Except I was down south, so it generally ended up being Provo Canyon, although sometimes I'd make it all the way through Park City & then come back down the other way... I remember one time, I was on such a drive, & I passed a billboard that was a quote from FDR (I think??) that said, "Never, ever, ever give up." It was at a time when I kind of just wanted to totally give up. Generally speaking. So all of a sudden, I went blind & had to pull over, where I cried my eyes out for a solid 15 minutes. And then I felt much better.
Anyway. Hugs to you.
