Temporary Bachelorette Life
Jun. 7th, 2009 05:59 pmThe hubinator has been gone more than he has been home for the last few weeks (first DC, now Kenya). I'm noticing default patterns emerging that haven't been seen for a while that make me grateful that my solo status is a temporary condition.
I have eaten nachos (chips, cheese, nuke, apply salsa and sour cream, eat) for dinner the last 4 days. Eating the same thing day after day is something I do when I'm not cooking for someone other than me, I've noticed. But when I'm eating solo I almost can't help but fall into the habit. Not a good thing. I need more veggies.
Its really nice being relieved from the chore of making a decent dinner every night. And feeling no pressure over the laundry. Hmm...
With the hubby gone, I have a car. If I have a car, the world is my oyster (well, not quite, but I at least feel more like it is). I have purchased a few things I wouldn't have sans car. Some quasi necessities, like a new scratching post for the kitties, but nonetheless, more than I would have.
My sleep habits have been getting weird again. I go to bed at 1, wake up at 6 or 7, take a nap from 4-7 at night. Must reign that in by not napping.
One good thing is I have been making an effort to be more social. BPAL meet and sniff today, coffee with a friend Thursday, and DJing with Kim Monday. This is good. The BPALers gave me email addresses so I can invite them to a board game night when I have one (probably in about a month and some change...).
This is not the most exciting post ever, but I sort of wanted a record of my habits sans hubinator, so I can think about it. I do miss him bunches and its nice to calculate the good impacts (eating more veggies, keeping me on a sane schedule, etc.) he has in addition to the emotional positives of having him around.
The poor kitties want out door time and I haven't wanted to sit out with them. I should give them a bit of time to eat grass and roll on the sidewalk. They will be really glad when the hubinator comes home.
