Are you choosing to live alone?

[Jules]

For me, the hardest part of being alone would be the inability to just chat about inconsequential things.

The trouble with living alone is that it's always my turn to do the dishes

Paper plates, my friend!

That’s why people talk to themselves I guess…. I’m learning what 'totally alone' means since my beautiful doggie died.

I choose to live alone and enjoy it.

I need privacy and solitude to recharge my batteries and would not function well surrounded by other people or by being forced to live in a structured environment.

I dread the thought of needing some form of assisted living and the forced socialization that goes along with it.

My hope is that someday my neighbors will report a foul odor coming from my apartment and that will be the end of it.

I didnt choose it. It just happened . Before that it was me and the husband and now its just me.
Im fine with it. Too many people makes me twitchy too.

Assisted living doesnt sound like fun. Im familiar with nursing homes. Too familiar in fact. Definitly dont want to be in one.
Hopefully if Im forced to go to the home for old ladies I will be adle brained and wont know where Im at.
I would prefer to just keel over one day if I have any choice.

I get bored but rarely lonely.

I do get bored sometimes but I usually manage to find something.

I live alone. No family, no friends, no pets.

Same here. Except I do have some snitty kitties.

Paper plates, my friend!

Yep. Paper plates. And bowls.
Sometimes I get really lazy and just eat right out of the pot.

I have a dog. I love my dog. I even love him when he annoys me. Although he only annoys me three or four times a day. Not sure I could do that with people.
