Dreading the Weekend

The social wasteland that is my weekend stretches out before me

I debated on providing a background summary, before launching into the daily opportunity portion of the blog, but the question would be where to begin, how big to make it, and who would care anyway.
This blog should be a place for the creative juices to find an outlet. So, let'er rip potato chip!
...
My opportunities this weekend:
1. Friday at 7, give my daughter over to her dad for 7 LONG days. This is my own personal hell hole. Get her back next Friday...
2. Then, try to work thru that in time to... what? Drink a pitcher of margaritas? Try to get the man i've been flirting with online to actually show up somewhere in real life? Try to actually lay eyes on the guy i've been flirting with on the phone? Try to brave showing up solo at the local singles group? Probably, just struggle thru the achingly lonely night, trying not to think about missed opportunities (virtue is it's own punishment), curling up in a semi-drunken stupor on one side of the sumptous bed and pretending that other (empty) side doesn't matter.
3. Mow, water, rake, fertilize and generally maintain the lawn.
4. Vacuum, launder, and generally clean the house (preferably naked, if my brother isn't home).
5. Play the alternative rock channel on the digital cable thru every speaker i can push, loudly.
...
odds on, i'll do 2 or 3 of the things in item 2, just because i have too much time on my hands, and some portions of the others.
And i have to ask, who cares?
