Since my better half’s out of town for a week, I’m currently in my third day of the single life. I cant say I havent thought about how it would be if I were single again and this was my big chance to find out.
Day 1: Get back to an empty house. No more making tea every evening wasnt all that much of a consolation as I thought it would be. Visited the hostel and chatted with the cooks before dinner.
Cook: So you’re going to be alone tonight? Arent you afraid?
Me: Naah, I got Winkie, havent I? (Smile)
Back home, watch TV for a while, finish dinner and feel drowsy. The conversation suddenly replayed in my head and thats when the Arent you afraid? part came back to haunt me big time. Couldnt sleep at all. Went back to watching TV till 1 am, then tried sleeping. Woke up at 2 am. Slept. Woke up at 3 am. Slept. Heard strange noises in the night. Went and kicked Winkie who was sleeping peacefully on the couch, the bitch!
Day 2: Back to an empty house. Play a computer game, listen to music, eat dinner and plan to watch the HBO 9 pm movie. Fall asleep by 9:30 pm.
Day 3: Start feeling starved for human company. Its no use. I’m set in my ways. The single life’s not what I thought it would be.
I sleep with the lights on
Ditto
Ditto!
Now I have my sister around though.
Can’t believe you actually wrote this!!! You Big beep!
Do you now know what I mean when I say its quite tiring to go back to an empty house?
Yeah, you do have your sis now!
Hehehe… now I know what you meant before.
Although why’s that Big in capital B?
Poor little Winkie.
One day she’s gonna run off with the neighbor’s Alsatian.

@Peden: So nice to see you here in the comment section, girl!!!
Lights on, tv on, music on - check. Hehehe… I’m so happy to know I’m not alone in this “Fear of the Dark” thing.
@Ajith: Thats already happening with her going into season this month. Current star attraction of the neighbourhood, she is. I’ve half a mind to poison all the strays!
