Mindless Chatter - Tuesday

     Being alone should not be such a scary thing. I know that a lot of people NEED a partner in life, but a lot of people don't. I love my freedom. I make decisions for me with regards to money, going places, buying things, and so on. I don't have to consider someone elses wants in to the equation. It is very liberating. There is hardly a dull moment in my life because I choose to stay busy. So, don't dread it if that is the path you are taking. Look forward to it instead. It will be a time to do things for YOU and not for someone else.

    Steph - I can empathasize, for sure...I'll PM you.

    I am so tired today.  I had class last night and got help studying with a friend after class, but stayed there and fell asleep.  Woke up at 3am to drive 30 mins home... just to wake up again at 6:30am for work.  Still dragging, despite several cups of coffee and some chocolate...

    Got invited out for drinks tonight, but my exam is tomorrow, so I really want to study.  And spend some time with Gracie and Jada while I still can.  Jada and Achilles belong to BF.

    Steph, Paige, I hope things are going ok for the both of you.  (((Hugs)))

    I finally got internet access, & my laptop charge where I could get on for a few minutes.  I am staying close to my grandparents, as their caretakers have yet to return from evacuating.  Brinxx & I got sprayed by a skunk yesterday.  It was trapped under some debris, so I tried to lift the stuff so that it could escape.  The thanks that I got in return will likely linger for quite some time...

    I am staying at a rent house of my parents.  We have no electricity yet, but I did get a shower, which I desperately needed, & I get to sleep in a bed tonight!  I am having trouble keeping up with what day of the week it is, but I know that I am counting down to Thursday night when DH gets here.  I stayed behind to help with hurricane cleanup, & to make sure that the grandparents are ok.  DH had to go home so that he could go back to work.  Brinxx stayed with me, while the other dogs went back with him.  I'm not sure who I miss most DH of Bevo.  Either way, I can't wait to see them even if it's just for the weekend.

    Being comfortable in our company is a very vital part of life! And heck we all have pets so then your never alone. I live by myself but yet I am always busy and never feel "alone" cause I have my dogs & cats to keep me company.

    And you know what is odd I often find when I have guests if they stay longer than an hour or so I am almost keen for them to leave so I can get back to my routine & chatter away to my animals. Since living by myself I really enjoy putting some music on & just dancing around like a retard, well on a whole I just a lot more random stuff cause there is no one around to catch me but I enjoy being able to be like that hehe I think the dogs either think I am completely mad or they enjoy it cause they always have a boogie with me.

    But there are times I wish I had someone to comfort me or to talk too etc but then I just take the dogs for a walk or go for a ride on my horse and remember I enjoy my freedom too much. There is room for someone else in my life & we all need to remember not to block someone entering our lives but need to comfortable with yourself & make the most of having no one else to worry about.

    I'm married but my husband works a lot of weekends so I became very independent.  At first, I didn't like it but now:  I love it when I have time alone.  I even like working alone now too.

    It will be ok.  I can be with just myself (and the dogs) but it's going to be a huge adjustment.  We'd been together for literally 1/3 of my life (started dating 3 days after my 16th birthday and I'll be 24 in Nov.) so looking out a drastically different future scares me a bit.  Thanks everyone for the hugs and kind words, you really do make me feel better.  I'm so glad have this web site and you great people :o)
