Americorps ruined my ability to be alone.
I have today off. A Saturday. A whole day. I was ecstatic when I saw the schedule. And yesterday I found out I have tomorrow off too. Two days of being alone? Two days spent in solitude watching hulu with my cat? I couldn't take it. When David had three days in a row off last week I teased him for not taking advantage of that and doing something awesome. So I figured I would pop back to CT for the weekend. Have some family fun time, and spend the whole weekend around people. I couldn't find an affordable flight that fit my time schedule.
I used to be great at being alone. I could hole up in my room for days at a time with a stack of books and only come out for meals. Now I can't even sit still for a whole day. I wish I had a ten-person team living with me. I never thought I could actually be this lonely.
I went to a yoga class at the gym. Then a quick run in the sunshine at Wash Park. And then met up with Liz for lunch. I'm glad I didn't break our lunch date because Liz is feeling the same kind of lonely that I am.
