There are a few things in life that I do not really care for. Meaty meals, the scent and taste of "original" trident gum, cats, aquariums, and being alone. I just hate being alone. I think people are the most amazing of God's creations and I want to surround myself with people always.
Tonight...
I am...
Alone.
My husband left for Pennsylvania this afternoon. He is in a friend's wedding- and I won't be joining him until tomorrow. Now that I am a married woman, when my one and only roommate leaves for the night, I am alone! I do not like it. What am I to do with myself? Let me clarify, I also miss my husband... but let's be honest, this is really about my inability to function without the company of another. NOT normal.
So far tonight...
I called my aunt. Basically, we both surfed the internet at our respective homes and paid little to no attention to each other on the phone. I really enjoyed her company. No, really.
And, I painted my nails. And decided tonight, for the 1,658th time that I will stop biting my nails.
You may be wondering- is this the first night they have spent apart since they have been married? No my friends- I must confess to you that I have left my husband home alone a few times now. I have traveled to visit friends in Georgia on a weekend that he couldn't go, gone to a wedding in Alabama with my aunt, visited another nearby camp for a staff retreat that he was unable to attend... and I believe that is all. The difference? I am a selfish person that does not like to be the one left alone. I am simply fond of the company of others. Gregarious, if you will.
Oh well, I think I will make it through the night.
Wish me luck.
