It is my first weekend alone. I was kinda dreading it after I found out my sister was no longer coming. So, I decided to make it MY weekend. Got up this morning and walked to a really cool little coffee shop, had coffee and read a summer activity guide, then headed home. It started raining a little, so I put my hood on. Then proceeded to take the wrong turn. My 15 minute walk home took about 45 minutes, but it was beautiful.
Got home, fixed a great breakfast, dropped breakfast on the floor, fixed another(not quite so great), and finally got to eat! Now it is almost noon. Needless to say, I got a late start. But it seems everything is taking an unnecessary amount of time. During all this, I received some exciting news, but I can't share that right now.
I put the vacuum together, did a little house work, and headed to town with my list. I found a local bakery, a quilt shop, and a fabric store! Love all three.
Now, all day, I have been planning on going back to the coffee shop for the evening for a free movie. (this is supposed to be my social activity for the week) But by now, it is 5:00, I'm a little tired, ....
So I eat, and I'm thinking, "Do I really want to go?'' I text my wonderful daughter, and express my doubts. Always encouraging, she stays take a shower and see how you feel.
So, I ended up going. It was fun. The movie was good. Met and visited with a few people. They do this every Saturday night and on Friday nights have live music and open mic. Always early, 6 or 6:30. I am going to the Friday night thing too, next time I am here for it. Maybe I can even get Manny to go with me, and sing a song or two for his old Ma!
All in all, it was a very nice day. I think I can get used to this alone thing. Life is grand and I am going to enjoy it! Till next time....
My just as wonderful singing, guitar playing son!
