After work yesterday I went to the grocery store and picked up three items; beer, pizza, and ice cream, just because I can. I can come home, eat what I want, drink what I want, watch what I want on television and listen to whatever music I want. Yesterday felt like a pizza, beer, and ice cream day to me, a day to celebrate the fact that I can do things on my own again, that I can do what I want.
I’m considering taking at least one evening a month to spend by myself like this, eating bad food, watching DVDs, relaxing and knowing I can do things on my own. Obviously I prefer the company of others and love to have plans and love to go out, but sometimes, it’s nice to be able to come home and enjoy being alone.
Life is still good. I am still so very happy. My life’s not perfect, not at all, but I’m enjoying things and enjoying where things are going.
yay, shiner! i actually had one yesterday after the fireworks.
i’m so glad you’re enjoying your time.
PS–i need to visit & invade your space ASAP.

That sounds like a good night. It’s fun just to kick back and do your own thing, isn’t it? :)

There is nothing better than a ice cold beer with pizza. And the ice cream is just a bonus. Glad to know your settling in and enjoying your independence.
