Alone (At Last?)

N left for a 10 day business trip today. I am usually happy until day 4-5, then not so much. This time he has left me with Z having a 102 fever. Not so much again. Made a frivilous purchase last night - yard sale heart cast aluminum patio furniture. I feel like such a heel negotiating with my neighbors, but they came out close to what they were asking and I got a good deal but paid more than I wanted. So that is ok, right? Why do I feel guilty negotiating for used furniture? Maybe because they are elderly, but they aren't slow at all!!! That's right, make yourself feel better about it. And I busted my knee on the doorframe yesterday trying to keep Lily inside, so I'm gimping around the house. Going to get supplies for Z's outer space party today if he feels up to it, so that should be good. Ah, another day!
