Serenity -
I'm 47yo and have been living on my own these last 3 months for the 1st time in my life. It *IS* very strange to say the least!
There were many, many years before I met AH, that I wasn't in a relationship and didn't even date. But I had my son. There was always another person in the apartment with me.
I'm realizing what a slob I am - no one's here, so who the heck cares! (After 2months of THAT, I'm slowly realizing that *I* do.)
I'm trying to figure out what *I* like. (again, very strange feelings!)
I can stay up as late (early) as I want.
I can sleep as late (early) as I want.
I can watch "Rocky Horror Picture Show" 3 times in a row if I want. And then listen to the cd of it 5 times.
I can take reeeeeeeeeeeeeally long hot baths.
I can read ALLLLLLL day, snuggled in my quilts.
I think I'm trying to look for the positive things, no matter how teeny they seem to be. And I'm TRYING to be patient with myself! I really suck at this living alone thing - but I've only been working on it a very short time. I'll get better at it.
It just FEELS so darned WEIRD!
