I'm so bad at being without other adult company....
Zornhau left for his week-long business trip tonight... /sigh I'm home with the munchkin and we're having fun, and I know the week will fly by, but man... I have approximately zero practice at being by myself. The next week of nights are going to be weird. Time to go kick my YouTube thread again after I get the kiddo to bed... :rofl:

1. If it's any consolation, I'm totally jealous.
I'd love to have a week of evenings to myself. Lucky woman. :hi: Enjoy!

my ideas:
read
hang out and post on DU
take a nice, hot bath
write in your journal
listen to music
sit and space out
light a candle
go to bed early
get a good night's sleep...

2. LOL, I know, it makes no sense....
I crave "me" time like crazy, and then I get it and have no idea what to do with myself. I've always lived with my family, or with roommates or in a dorm setting or what have you... never adjusted to that kind of time. I'll definitely try to hit up most of the things on your list! :D

:hi: How's life treating you, Shine? :hug:

4. Life is treating me great, thanks for asking!
I'm happy and healthy and feeling good. I'm waiting and watching to see what'll go down between Hillary and Barack. Edwards was my guy and I was heartbroken when he dropped out, but I still voted for him on my CA ballot last week. Nowadays my whole attitude is this: :popcorn: as I watch the drama unfold...especially in GD : P

The truth is, I could live with either of them as President. I just wanna see the Repukes OUT!

Hope all's well with you and your family. I hope you enjoy this week. Take advantage.... :hi: :hug:

8. Glad to hear it, Shine!
I'm feeling much the same way about the race. When Edwards dropped out, it sort of ate all my enthusiasm. GD: P is nutty.

Things are pretty good here, Z's still going to p.t. for his hand and making good progress, and we're getting rid of lots of stuff in prep for our move in August. Wa-hoo! :hi: :hug:

3. LOL! I used to be that way. When we had our first son and my husband...
went on business trips I was so lonely and craved adult company. Now that we have three kids and we're both older I totally love the times when he is on business trips. Me Time! *grin*

9. Hehe...
I can see why you'd really need the *you* time! I crave "me" time but don't know what to do with myself when I get it... I'm learning, slowly, how to just follow my own needs and wants. That's a skill that I didn't learn - I spent a long time learning to put everyone else first!

6. You could throw a party and invite us all.
Give Zorhau even more reason to wish he was home. :P

11. Sweet!
Friday night, he could come home to it! :bounce: You in? ;)

p.s. - how's the ride working out, now that you've had a bit of time to get acclimated? :hug:

13. Public transportation in a wheelchair has some challenges.
But it's definitely reducing my pain. So it's all okay. :)

14. I can imagine...
There were some points on our trip down to see you where the thought definitely crossed my mind (elevator out of service? now what?). I'm very glad for you that you're hurting less, though. :)

7. Being by yourself isn't what it's cracked up to be.
I know.
