A most curious and delightful thing happened last night. I was rinsing off after my workout and D informed me that he and EBD were going to run errands. DS was already off with his girlfriend and so I was immediately struck: I would be alone!
Exhilarated, I quickly dried off, let my hair down, put on dark eye shadow, got into my baggy sheep pajamas — the pieces of which finally caught up with each other in the laundry — poured a glass of cheap red wine, lit a scented candle, wasn’t light enough so I turned on the little lamp by my bed, read a chapter of the tawdry romance I’ve been slogging through (research, of course) and enjoyed an entire hour of solitude.
Ah, and the sun came out this morning.
