Thank you x 10 000!! !! !

Sry I could not get it to work.
I did try.

You're welcome.

This site is pretty buggy so it's entirely possible that you did everything right but the site just wouldn't let it work.

It might be important to define "fun," no?

I never go out shopping (except for essentials), to see movies, go to amusement parks, etc. For me those things aren't much fun.

But every day I do something that, for me, is fun. For example, I do a little "yum tasty food" dance at mealtimes (I eat alone).

My daily fun might be having a joke with my wife or enjoying an aspect of a chore or work, or indulging an interest. But when all else fails walking in the woods with or just being with my dogs all day never fails to make me chuckle and smile multiple times a day. They are half Chihuahuas and something about their frequent activity or reactions is often very humorous.

I feel the need to clarify my answer. I enjoy a play on words, a silly situation my cats might create, or an amusing comment from my kids now and then.
But if one is referring to what's generally seen as 'fun' from the point of view of normal society, then no. I spend all my time alone except for time spent with my son. I do not participate in clubs, bars, shopping, malls, movies at theaters, amusement parks or the like.

I wish it would stop being 90+ degrees so I can have more fun outside.

thanks
that makes me feel better

It just takes a certain amount of resilience and saying to yourself "I have these responsibilities and I'll try to change the situation soon enough", when you have to work 60+ hours a week. I can remember working for Sunny Valley packaging meat and throwing it on pallets about 70 hours a week, throwing around 200 lbs regularly. When I would get home I was so physically exhausted I was a zombie and all I could think of was to eat and sleep, and then I would get up, do the ole SSS routine (s*%t, shower, shave), and go right back to work. Whatever day I did get off was half sleep and hopefully some hanky panky.
