Sunday night musings

I've had a lot of thoughts today. Some of them deep, some of them not so much. I'll share three of them here in honor of this three day weekend.

• As much as I love the beginning of summer, I also find it kind of painful. For one, areas of skin that doesn't usually touch and probably wouldn't if I worked out more starts touching and it's not a delightful feeling. Second, my feet are not yet used to flip flops and other kinds of sandals. The bottoms of them feel like they have been shredded with a cheese grater. 
• After a certain age, making new friends is a lot of work. I have wonderful friends but with the exception of a couple of them (thankfully very good friend that just lives a block away) all are married and most, if not all, now have kids or kids on the way. That fact has certainly not ended our friendship but it changes it significantly no matter how much you try not to let it. It makes hanging out more difficult. You have to share your time with other people and that's ok. So, I've been feeling like I should try to make some new friends. However, I have very little motivation to actually go and meet new people. I want instant friends. Tonight I was invited to a BBQ with some people that I only know a little bit. I knew I should probably go. I knew that they were all very nice and welcoming people. In the end, I dragged myself there and while I didn't stay very long, I had a lovely time chatting with people I don't usually chat with. But, it's exhausting, at least for an introvert like myself.
• I'm seriously considering trying online dating. Again. Also, something I don't really want to spend a lot of time and energy on. I want instant boyfriend. But, it's something I should probably do so that at least when I complain about being single I can also say I'm trying.
