Being single

Life is funny sometimes. It comes in waves of good and bad, and it’s truly all about how you handle it. I’ve learned that. The hard way.

• Sitting in a restaurant alone, is not near as much fun as sitting with someone and being able to talk. When you’re alone and talk, people look at you funny.
• Grocery shopping is so boring. Nobody to throw loaves of bread half way down the isle like a football, or someone to race shopping carts with in the parking lot.
• The beach is overrated.
• Dark corners of the world where you can watch airplanes take off and land, are not overrated.
• Doing things on Val time, is okay because they still get done.
• Bad Trash TV is easier to watch when someone isn’t sitting next to me saying, “I want to watch House”.
• Getting my nails done is far less exciting when I don’t have a back to scratch them down.
• Sitting in a Jacuzzi tub alone is very relaxing. And they’re bigger with one person.
• Dogs can provide you with unconditional love. And it actually makes me feel better sometimes.
• Moving into my own place is scaring me a little, but I’m ready for all the new challenges that will bring.
• I miss Date Night.
