Day 3: Describe a Moment or Day When Being Single Was Really Awesome

Lately, Saturdays are my Awesome Single Days. I pretty much lounge around my apartment all day in my pj's and get caught up on stuff around the interwebs. 

Occasionally, all that web surfing will make me sleepy, so I'll need to take a nap to recharge my batteries. When I wake up, I might be hungry, so I'll mosey on over to the kitchen to whip up a snack. It might be a healthy snack, it might not be a healthy snack - depends on my mood (but mostly it depends on what I have available in the fridge). 

If I didn't eat my snack standing up in the kitchen, I'll bring it back to my bedroom and get comfy in my covers while I search for something to watch on Hulu or Netflix. Then I'll eat my snack while I watch whatever-it-is-I-decided-to-tune-in-to. 

If the walk from the kitchen to the bedroom wore me out, it might be time for 2nd Nap- which in case I missed a call or text when I was in the kitchen, I'll check my phone for any messages before I decide to fully commit to. Usually no one has tried to get a hold of me, so I can take 2nd Nap with a peace of mind that I'm not ignoring anyone or neglecting anything I had previously committed to. 

After I wake up from 2nd Nap, it is usually late-afternoon/early-evening...which means it is now time to get out of bed (for good) and take a shower. If I have some place important to be on Sunday (aka: church, duh), I'll debate washing my hair (which really isn't much of a debate because I always do it, anyway). 

After I am clean and shiny from head to toe, I'll play with my hair and makeup for a little while (let's be real: a long while) before deciding that I'm too hungry to function any longer. Dissatisfied with the selection of food available in the fridge from my earlier venture to the kitchen, I'll debate whether or not to get back online and try something new from my favorite food delivery site (shout out to Eat24!) or to get in the car and go to the grocery store. Since it is close to, or past, 12 hours since the time that I woke up in the morning, and I have yet to be outside of the apartment, I generally decide to get in the car and go to the grocery store...

Being single is really awesome on the days that I can set the pace of how productive or unproductive I want to be. Being single is really awesome on the days that I don't have to answer to anybody but myself. Being single is really awesome on the days that I don't have to meet any deadlines, except for the ones I (may or may not) set for myself. Being single is really awesome on the days that I don't have to be responsible for anyone or anything but myself and the tasks I chose to engage in. Being single is really awesome when I can just have time to myself... to breathe, to catch up on sleep, to read a book, to get lost on the internet for hours without feeling guilty, to do whatever I want- whenever I want.

Being single is really awesome on the days that I feel empowered and optimistic about the future.

Being single is really awesome on the days that I don't feel sad and/or lonely.
