I Think I Will Be Okay

How To Not Feel So Alone:

1. Stay up real real late reading so when you fall asleep dead tired you hardly even notice you are in bed alone. Here it is good to have a friend with a wonderful library she lets you use, thanks Shannon!

2. Spend money shopping for things you don't really need, keep the receipts, then return them on a later date* to give you just one more thing to do. I think this is a particular stroke of genius on my part, and will have to remember it for future leaves of absence should they occur.

3. Talk and text with sisters often- if I have not got to you, do not fret, we shall have many a text conversations. Thanks B.

4. Have Nunu take you on an all expense paid date even though she owed you the $ anyways. It will surely be a luxurious experience because never once will you have to reach for your wallet, the conversation is great, she is real cute, and she may still owe you an $8 date even after the tip!

5. Cat sit for a friend and even though you may not want to, let the cats win you over with their sweet purrs and meows for attention even though you didn't think they could. Be sure to bake cookies for your friends to come home to, but be careful, don't do it on an empty stomach, because The Good Lord knows just as well as I do that 5 scoops of raw cookie dough makes for one sore tummy. Amen.

6. Have your honey bunny be your phone call alarm so that you don't have to wake up to strangers on the radio, or even worse, the escalating in volume beeping alarm.

Now, whatever you do, DO NOT, step into your honey bunnies former place of employment to say hello to former co-workers because you think they may want an update. You will end up v. sad if you do this, because for starters, you will not see very many familiar faces leading you to conclude that like him, they have moved on as well; and then when you do see a familiar face you may have to walk away before they see you as you are welling up with tears because the one you miss is not in the back folding clothes where he ought to be and you don't know anyone there anymore. Longest sentence ever- sorry.
