Pity party - anyone want to join me?

[hippohector]

Gah. Feeling very sorry for myself and having a self indulgent pity party this morning.

Had COVID never happened, we would be on our way to the airport now to start our three week holiday of a lifetime. Saved and planned it for years. The stars finally aligned and DH’s ex wife had finally agreed the dates so that DSS could join us.

Instead, I am sat in the kitchen drinking my third cup of coffee, looking at my watch thinking what we ‘should’ have been doing.

I know in the grand scheme of things I am very lucky, I have my family and a home and we are all healthy. But I can’t help feeing sad today.

Anyone else care to join my pity party?

That sucks, OP. You're perfectly entitled to feel sad about it.

Like you, I have much to be grateful for, but this thing is taking a toll on everyone in one way or another. And I'm sure most of us have our moments of despair, pissed offness, anger, So, at least you'll have company at your pity party. I hope you've got enough snacks.

I'll join. I should have been going on my honeymoon next Saturday.

Instead both the wedding and honeymoon cancelled and moved to next spring.

Fuck covid.

pippistrelle - snacks are a good idea. I have been trying to eat healthier but I think today I might indulge myself

MrsSpookyM - so sorry about your wedding and honeymoon. That’s really shit.

I really hate COVID too

Oh @MrsSpookyM that’s really crap.
As is your disappointing non holiday OP.
I should be sunning myself on the med coastline right now. Still, I’m consoling myself with the fact that right now the sun is shining, I’m reheating last nights leftover pizza and am going to eat it in the garden. It’s the best I’m going to get for a while.
to you all.
