I'm always prepared for those weekends, just because my work week drains me and I figure I deserve the vegetation time. The pay period has ended and the kids are with their dad so I have some quiet time (even though I worry about them when they aren't here).

But I need to realize maybe half a day of doing nothing should be good enough and the rest of the weekend I should be out picking up the yard, running errands, straightening up the house. It's not anxiety that keeps me from doing stuff, it's more the depression. I'm sick of doing things alone. Leaving alone, shopping alone and then coming home alone has gotten old, so I just cut out the leaving and shopping and stick to staying home.

It's not a good thing to do, I know, and I try to avoid it as much as possible, but I'm not always successful.

I don't know how to avoid the "blahs" of a wasted weekend.
