Good morning!
As you might know, I live with my parents, so the instances where i’m trulh alone doesn’t come too often. At most, it’s a couple of days- maybe 4 max on the weekend.
This time however is very different, as I took a full week of vacation so they could travel; and someone is home to take care of my animals. Dad was originally going for work, and mother tagged along- they decided to leave earlier and spend a few days there.
Staying alone for too long definately makes me depressed. Not to help that usually I don’t have anyone to chat with, specially on the weekends. I came prepared and scheduled two appointments for myself, to keep me entertained: giving blood, vertical labret piercing and a new set of nails. Mind you, I still find it hard to go out & about on my own also.. so this’ll be quite an adventure.
As my sense of self definately needs improvement, the need to feel more comfortable on my own, this is a great opportunity! For both sides really, as mother also need to learn to let go of the idea of staying home on behalf of the dogs “they wont like it”.

Sunday 26th; Just the thought of getting in my car and reaching my appts alone seems so intimidating. Although I know I’m a fully capable adult woman 😅 Donating blood seems easier, as I did have to enter alone during covid; mom had to wait in the car, so I can always pretend ahah. I’m sure anxiety is getting the best of me, all will be fine and it’d be probably getting easier after that first appt.
The first day went by fine; feeling totally relax except for anticipation for my appointments. It’s really wierd though how lively the house is with 3 people in it + tv VS The quietness of just me and the dogs. Presumably the dogs also aren’t used to it as Kafei kept yapping 😆 being a pain in my butt as I’ve been wanting to read outside.
Monday 27th; first appointment was to go give blood. It was my 12th time, last time I went had been 3yrs ago!
Tuesday 28th; Went thrift shopping with a friend from work, I got a pink rainbow sweater aswell as a dachshund patterned phonecase. One of my two new pairs of glasses also came in.
Thursday 30th; Finally, my most anticipated appt of the week, My vertical labret piercing! I had been wanting it for quite a while now, and omg did it hurts. 😅 But it’s so stunning! I also got my second new pair of glasses.
Surprisingly, I’ve never felt more relaxed in my life! The house is so quiet, albeith for my yappy dog.. Ithink it’s because i’m on vacation and I don’t actually have to bother with work — but also, usually I tend to take my vacations way too late, where i’m already on my wits’ ends and grouchy. This time I just followed suit of my parent’s plan and took the week only a fortnight ahead, and it feels so much better than wait that i’ve had my limit with customer service 😅 I still wouldn’t go on my own without a partner, but I could really get used to this.
Unlike two years ago where I was confined on the couch because I rolled my ankle, this is much more enjoyeable as I’m allowed to do stuff- I can have my own appointments and take the car whenever I want.
Definately got more fun than I expected, even got some cleaning & rearranging of my closet done ☺️
