Single Doesn't Work Anymore

Oops. I forgot to post an update last night. Well, so much for putting up an entry every day in April! If I have anything to say later, I'll do two today to make up for it. I don't really have an excuse, either. I was sitting in my living room chair last night, reading my book, and remembered that I needed to post an update. I figured I'd put one up when I finished reading, before I went in to get ready for bed. I forgot. :)

J came home from his trip yesterday afternoon. Here is what his weekend away taught me: I'm very happy to no longer be single and alone. Some time alone is good every now and again - that's certainly true. But here's the thing. I was alone Friday night. Fine. I played the Sims, watched some TV and went to bed. I was alone all day on Saturday. Okay. I played the Sims some more and watched a couple of chick flicks that I wouldn't watch when J is around. I was alone all Saturday night. Okay, except... the only person I had seen or spoken to all day was the grocery store clerk when I went to pick up a TV dinner for lunch (which I never ate, because I also picked up a small loaf of fresh made bread, and I ate that instead - I love bread). So I was getting kind of lonely. And by the time I went to bed that night, I had remembered that when I was single, just about every weekend was like that. I had lots of time to do what I wanted to do, but I hardly ever saw or spoke to anyone from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. It was a very lonely life.

And that whole long paragraph is just meant to say this: J, I love you. I'm glad to have you in my life, and to be sharing a house with you. I'm glad you had fun on your trip, but I'm glad to have you home again.

And that's enough mushiness for one post. Maybe I'll post later, with tales of my Sunday.
