So now that I know that I spend my free time napping, I am up and running and getting my stuff ready for another attempt to leave out for Dallas. After hitting the road late in the evening last night, I wondered why I was going through all of the trouble when I could relax at home and just head out when daylight arose.
So here I am.
Jake left for Michigan yesterday, warning me of the cold and snow he was about to endure up North. I was left to endure the space in my own mind, and after careful debate as to whether I should try to go out or stay in, I retired to the couch with the DVD to the 6th season of Bullshit! and a cup of green tea. I was a big fan of this novel Showtime debunking show in the beginning, but their episode trying to stand up for the sanctity of porn really lost me. I settled on an old episode of Big Love instead, mesmerized by the open credits when I realized Chloe Sevigny was a main character and the Beach Boys were their on their soundtrack.
With the house left to Alaska and me (aka the "it girls"), I started wondering just how different life is when Jake is not around to keep me on my toes. I came up with a short list that I am still adding to, but this is a good starting point.
Things I do differently when Jake is not around:
1. Watch horrible HBO shows he would have warned me not to rent in the first place.
2. Fall asleep multiple times on the couch and bed, with a pen and notebook still in hand.
3. Eat scrambled eggs for every meal. (Mostly because I am too lazy to eat at a restaurant solo)
4. Eat crackers for every snack.
5. Brew 4 cups of coffee at a time instead of 12.
And I still talk to my cat about the same amount. Buahaha.
Well Dallas, I'm sorry I broke our plans last night. I'll be in town and shaking it down in a few hours, and I've got Christmas to think about.
