Hi to all you lovely shrinking ladies! I've had a bad time of late. Depression has hit me like a tonne of bricks and, true to form, abstinence went out of the window.
Why do I do this to myself? At least if I'd stayed abstinent I'd have something to be happy about. I'm miserable because I miss home so much. I'm such a homebird, some of my best friends have been in my life since school days and my home and family mean everything to me. Living here, - on an expat compound where all men work for the same company - is like living life in a goldfish bowl. It's the first time in my life that I've been 'categorised' by the job my hubby does!! I'm a private person but I just can't 'hide' here and I find it all so claustrophobic.
My hubby's been looking for jobs back in the UK but there are none! He has to stay with the same company as he's been with them for 21 years and doesn't want to lose the good pension he has. So.... We're trapped in Saudi. It's too hot to go out, i have to wear a long black 'coat of oppression' if we do, I'm not allowed to drive, we can't walk anywhere because it's not safe, the only 2 leisure activities available to women are shopping and eating and I'm blummin miserable!
On the plus side, booked to fly home for the last 2 weeks of June so that might give me a boost. The best boost, though, would be to stick to LL and watch myself shrink!!
Hopefully my next post will be more positive
