temporarily single
November 20, 2008
Neko’s been away for a week now, and it’s been weird to feel single again.
I never did like living alone, and now that I’m used to Neko always being home, the house seems especially quiet and lonely. I keep finding myself looking for her truck when I pull into the parking lot and being disappointed that it’s not there.
I really should be taking advantage of the time, and having some boys over, or working on all my many unfinished projects, but I’ve just been reading a lot of novels and being very messy. Go figure.
Whenever Mrs. Edge takes off for a few days to visit family, I’m always going to _______. I’m going to finish the the dozen little things that I’ve started, paint the old cabinet, clean the garage, or write a novel.
And then I order chinese food and read my favorite blogs for the next two days. I really need a couple of weeks before I’m motivated to change things.
It’s okay to take some time to get mentally and emotionally settled. You need to find your center. Just don’t get so messy that we have to dig you out with a shovel.
