Hello. It's been a while. Sorry about that.
I'm house sitting now. It's interesting to say the least. First of all, I've never been alone before. Not like this. At my house, there's always someone home, particularly in the evening. Now, I have no one. I have electric heat in my house. Here, when I turned up the heat I freaked out because there's a furnace. Little things like that.
I like the independence, of coming and going when I please, making all the decisions, etc. I don't like the loneliness. I feel more comfortable downstairs where the tv is than upstairs. When upstairs, I usually have the radio on. Down here, the tv is on. Maybe because it's more closed in. Maybe because I'm more accustomed to tv than radio. Either way, I'm like a dog in that I do like the noise.
The cat is interesting. He likes to talk to me. He also likes to go outside, come in for a few minutes and want to go again. I usually don't do that and he's learning that. He's also learning that I don't like letting him out when I'm asleep or gone (though today he didn't come in before I left for work. He was here when I came back). His mannerisms amuse me.
I don't like the loneliness. That's the big thing. I'm getting used to spending nights alone, but it doesn't mean I like it. I don't think I'm one for living completely alone. I like having that other person with me. Obviously, I can be alone, but I don't think it's something I want to do full time. I think I'm more of a roommate kind of girl.
I also have to take buses more which is odd to me. I'm not used to not being so non-centrally located. Instead of walking 10 minutes to the grocery store, I have to bus 10 minutes. For now. I'm sure I'll find some method that is more feasible I guess.
That's the update for now.
