In the last few months I have dwelled on the fact that I do not have a man that loves me. It is nice to feel wanted sometimes. More recently I have been spending nights out with the new friends Ive made here in RI. I have stuffed my face with Indian food and drank one too many margaritas. Ive been having a lot of fun. I didnt even mention before, that night out with friends got me maybe a lil too close to a former student/ much younger gentleman. But thats what life is for, right? Having a bit of fun?
Ive been piecing together the little things. Got the apartment, furnished it... bought a bike... got my drivers license changed over. For the last three months Ive been watching TV on a 19 incher that I borrow from my sister. Its been ok. However, as an optometrist with an already high prescription. So, Ive been trying to get away with wearing old specs and not being refracted (Im a great doc!) I was really having trouble reading the guide... so instead of getting new specs, I bought a TV!
I spent a lot of time researching and found the TV I wanted and one I could afford. When I was home for the weekend I was able to go shopping and finally picked it up. I spent a few hours in traffic but sang most of the way back home. Most of this time I kept thinking, how am I going to get this TV in my house. Forty inches is considerably bigger than my 19". Not only did I think it would be difficult to bring the TV from my car to my apartment, but electronics in general scare me!
Anyways, I pulled up... ran inside to pee (of course) and then attempted to unload. Flat screens arent that heavy, so moving it was just awkward. A neighbor came out to offer assistence. He wasnt particularly good looking, so I passed... I dragged it in and went to work. Only about 20 minutes later it was put together, on my table... I connected it to both digital cable and dvd player and both worked! I was ecstatic!
I clearly think having a guy would be nice. My TV and my cactus arent good for hugs... but those who know me, know my view on hugs... Anyways, pretty stoked Im cable of doing things on my own. Score one for the single girl
