Alone, but not lonely
My parents and my sister were out of town this weekend, down state at ISU for the Illinois State Special Olympics, and I had the house all to myself. It was.... wonderful.
Friday night my brother and his fiancee came over and we watched some ghost investigation DVDs that I have. Sarah, my future sister-in-law, is a big wimp and kept saying it was too scary and she wanted to go home. So, of course, when they finally did head home around midnight I listened at the intercom for the door to open, then yelled out "Yah!" Both of them screamed, it was great.
Today, Saturday, I had to work until 4, then I headed home for a nice, relaxing night alone. I pulled out my knitting, put my feet up and watched 2 movies. She Creature and Pirates of the Caribbean, both good movies. I baked a cake on a whim, then cleaned up the kitchen and living room so that I don't have to do it tomorrow in a rush before my parents get home.
The only thing I don't like about being home alone is sleeping alone. I don't like feeling so exposed. But, luckily for me, I have two brave puppies to protect me all night long. And they do a very good job of patrolling the house while I'm sleeping.
Tomorrow the plan is as follows:
Sleep in
Finish Treasure Island
Hang with Anna
Knit
Laundry?
The rest of the week:
Mon: Work 10-6
Tues: Off??
Wed: Work 2-10
Thurs: Off
Fri: Work 10-2
Sat: Placement tests at UIC
Sun: Off
Looks like it'll be a bit quieter than last week, which is good. I'm looking forward to having some good quiet reading time. Kari starts her job Monday, so it'll be nice and quiet between 8 and 12ish. I'll have to take advantage of it. No more sleeping until 10 or later.
