Lonesome troubles

Today has been a rather lovely day. It started off really well with a brisk morning walk (with the dog) before a quick visit to the mall, where I got to exchange two shirts for 3 others with no problem at all. I had a nap and woke up to finally clear out the closet. Now I've stowed away some things there and I have soo much more room. When I was done I noticed a message from my neighbour friend whom I often take dog-walks with. She's a really kind person and offered to do some dishes for me while I took out some stuff for recycling. Not only did I finally get rid of a big bulky box that has been following me for 12 years, I got ALL my dishes done for me.

I feel as if I'm actually getting somewhere now with my long-time quest to get rid of all the crap I don't use. I can't wait for when it's all either gone or in the storage.I can't wait for being able to vacuum at least once a week again! No more clutter, no more trash!

What's not so great though is that it's time for my better half to live away over the weekdays, and tonight was the first alone, and I started it out nicely with a dream where he came home to tell me he was dying with a fungi infection.

There are a few other bad things about being alone though...

When I'm alone I don't like to eat. I could live on liquids alone. Not healthy at all, but I just don't get hungry. In a way I should use this as a time to size down my tummy in order to size down my hiny.

I also hate leaving home even more than usual (walking the dog excluded). I will rather starve than go shop alone. I can manage this by shopping during the weekend when my beloved is home again.

Let's see what tomorrow brings. I know one thing is for sure; dog walks. Three of them.
