I think we can all agree that some time
alone is essential to avoid going completely insane. In that respect, being
home alone is pretty fun. No one to disturb your solitude by complaining about
the noise/the mess/the cat/a thousand other unimportant things... heaven.
However, in a few short hours, I have also noticed a couple of disadvantages.
Here follows a list of my observations...
Pro: ability to sunbathe for several hours
without being disturbed/made to feel lazy.
Con: no one to put sunscreen on your
back... or to remind you to put on sunscreen at all. (Result? Tomato-face
strikes again.)
Pro: no one to complain about the noise of the
robotic vacuum.
Con: no one to save you when said vacuum
goes berserk and starts chasing you around the room.
Pro: ability to test-drive new and
outrageous clothes before deciding if they're appropriate for the outside
world.
Con: discovering that the outfit is
extremely difficult to remove just when you desperately have to pee.
Pro: ability to blast music and have a wild
dance party in the kitchen.
Con: no one to warn you about irate
neighbours staring at you through the glass door. (Especially problematic when
you remember the crazy outfit.)
Pro: balanced meals? Who needs those when
you have chocolate and nuts?
Con: I think we all know the answer to this
one. (Hello, treadmill!)
Pro: blessed silence. (A break from
screechy guitar music? Yes please.)
Con: the scream when a spider falls on your
head seems especially loud.
All things considered, though, I still love
being at home alone. Who knows, though- his may change once I actually have to
live alone full-time! (In the meantime, if you don't hear anymore from me,
assume that I've electrocuted myself with the blender.) What do you think? Does
anyone else get this excited about their alone time?
That whole desperate to pee thing - think about Depends. A lifesaver for the furniture and that special Saturday Night outfit!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry - we'll just be roomates and share rent and Sephora costs. That way I can kill the spiders and you can help me test drive my new clothes and we can keep each other on track for our fitness plans :D
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate the alone time I get in my apartment. Gotta love those irate neighbors.
