A busy day, but lonely. I kept on thinking that today is Saturday, but it's Friday. Yesterday I did the laundry, went to visit my friend briefly, did a bike ride, and cooked a T-Giving dinner for myself. Today, I went into my normal Saturday routine - housecleaning and shopping. Spending some time with myself can be bad because I get thinking about what's wrong with me. But it's all not true, though.

My friend had invited me to his house for a family Thanksgiving dinner today. I ended up not going. I thought about going at first, but I changed my mind. At the time the dinner would have started, I was busy doing my things. But in reality, I would have made it if I really wanted to. I don't feel comfortable in family settings that are not mine. I hardly know the people that would be there. There were going to be a few others who are not family. It was his daughter and husband this time. I met them one time and didn't like them. The others that would have been there are Chinese students and they would be coupled. So I don't think I missed too much.

My friend is getting more understanding of me now lately. He used to get mad at me for not wanting to come out to things. I am very introverted and he's extroverted. It's amazing how opposites attract, but they can have a difficult time understanding each other.
