Living Alone

SO my time as a single woman/geobachelorette is coming to an end (in a week). In terms of possible separation this was a relatively short separation (10 weeks rather than 8 months) but I have not liked it. I have survived. I have met friends. I have worked, worked out, cooked, cried, danced, I drank, cleaned, unpacked, and so much more. Ive dealt with a broken stove, smoke detectors beeping in 15 sec increments, household goods delivery, rude neighbor kids, building furniture (about 12 hours of my life LOST to this) and so on. Considering that this is my first time to ever live truly alone it has been an en lighting experience. I respect people who enjoy living alone. That being said I cant wait until Izac gets back. I look forward to doing some of these things with someone. I miss the simple things such as a hug when Ive had a bad day. A cuddle when I wake up. A kiss just because. Friends are great for most things but there is something special that only a partner can provide. I am HOWEVER keeping Girls night!

Saiyuki... My hero the bug killer.

So despite living on the 6th floor I still get some very interesting bugs in my house. I HATE bugs inside my house. Outside fine that is their territory but inside NO. The other night a HUGE moth got into my bedroom. I didn't notice it right away but I did notice Saiyuki freaking out. He has a specific noise he makes when hunting (also when he sees birds). Thats when I noticed the moth thing. The body was the size of a quarter (the wings made it bigger). What did I do you ask? I took a magazine and knocked it down towards the cat. He then pounced on it, batted at it for a bit and then it got away. We went on like this for about 20 mins while I looked for something to catch it with so I could release it outside. Unfortunately the cat ate it instead. I have to make sure he never gets a hold of the stink bugs.

Geobachelorette

So as I live as a geobachelorette and adjust to living alone and doing for myself I feel I am growing as a person. I am doing so much more now than I ever have. I am not worried about doing things by myself because if I dont do it then it wont get done. I am thankful that when I CANT do something people in my small community are willing to help or send their marines to help. I forgot what a supportive community a military base can be. All in all I continue to grow and learn and will hopefully keep doing so while Izac is gone.
