A while ago I made a list about reasons why I enjoy having my own apartment. Today while I was lying on the couch feeling so yucky that I didn't even want to go get my own glass of water and cursing my procrastination on grocery shopping, I was composing a list of reasons why it kind of stinks to live alone.
I had every intention of making that tonight's post...but then I started thinking about how many ways living alone has challenged me to become more independent and to prove to myself that I'm capable in many more ways than I thought. And yes, sometimes it downright stinks to be an adult taking care of myself, but the benefits far outweigh a day or two of feeling sick and having to take care of myself.
Coming across this list didn't hurt, either, of course.
And Batman the Pig, while tough and fast, was just not tough and fast enough. He came in 2nd in our heat and did not qualify for the final round. But he had fun. The kids did, too.
