Home Alone

So I been staying with my mom in Maine since October. She’s down in North Carolina right now- so this is the first time I have actually had alone time in months.

For me— this has been super challenging. Not only have I lived alone for 10 years and been totally independent, I am introverted by nature so I need to own bubble- going to my room doesn’t cut it.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice at almost 34 to be able to go back to your childhood home, sleep in your childhood room, etc, but it’s also difficult when you have been adulting overseas and doing whatever tf you want for 10 years.

My goal is to stay here for 6 months- visit family and friends, chill at home, save money, help out, whatever. April will be a 3 paycheck month, plus I found out I get a bonus, and the end of April will be my 6 months, so I just need to decide what I want to do after that.

My work said I could work remotely abroad- but only for up to 4 weeks.

So anyway, back to my first point- it’s actually nice to be home alone. I feel like I should have a party or see friends, but I’m just enjoying the alone time, except for Dingo, he is here. It’s so comforting to have a cat- he’s so handsome too. I love Siamese.

It is also a weird weather day, like a wintery mix. I went to the GMP with Annie and say ya old lady again, lordt it’s every time. I bought a 10 dollar scratch ticket and won 50 dollars, so that’s always a nice mood lifter. Also so is the iced coffee I got from DD.

I really need to work on my grad school application. I’m applying to 2 programs. If I put it in writing here hopefully it will push me to do it- I should have done it today!
