I live by myself and single. I pretty much enjoy it and there are times when I like being alone just to refresh myself. But it seems like on the weekends, it can be hard just being by myself. Just yesterday and today I had no one to come over and no one called. I kept myself busy, but it didn't help a whole lot.

During the weekdays, it's nice just being alone for a couple of hours after work. At my job I work in a room by myself and it's nice to not to have to hear conversations and stuff. But there are times when there are problems and having to deal with complaining. And that's why I feel like it's nice to come home alone. But at night on the weekdays it would be nice to be able to spend a little time with a neighbor. But at the condo complex I live at, it's a lost cause, and I don't think it's going to get better. Although a phone call at night is OK. My only friend calls me on occasions at night and it's nice, but not as good as being together.

I only have one friend and he's old (78). He used to come over to see me on the weekends and some weeknights. Not anymore because he can't drive now. He would prefer to come and see me. I can go to his place, but I don't like the area plus I'm not crazy about his wife. He has come to see me by taking public transportation, but it's such a hassle for him. And it's a hassle for me to have to go to the station and pick him up.

I very much wish that there could be a mate or a real good friend around my age. That would my life so much better. That seems like a lost cause. There are supposed to be so many lonely middle-aged people around, but I don't know where they are. It would be nice if that problem could be solved.
