I survived night one!

I survived...Night one in my first apartment on my own. Talk about weird. It kind of felt like being back at school and going to a friends house for a sleepover. When I got home yesterday the first thing I did was to clean some of the leaves out of the window sill. When I looked out the window above the sink there was about 6 inches worth of leaves. Two trash bags full later (and a loan worm that I so nicely pardoned) the window was clear but there are still a bunch of leaves down there (I think the hole may go all the way to China). Right about now I have hit the rain drenched stuff from the buckets of rain that have been coming down. I decided to give it a rest for the day and let some of that stuff dry out.
Next stop was Joanne's to look for some sheer material to make some curtains that let the light in. Didn't find anything too exciting fabric wise, but got a lovely herb pot to try and grow some fresh herbs. Next stop was Target (as I had no luck finding a Wal-Mart). Mission: Pink hand towels to match my pretty flowered shower curtain. You can never go to target and get just what you came for. Along the way I picked up...a toilet brush, a duster, sponge/scrubies, and two doormats. Now I am my mothers daughter, so when the first hand towels I saw were $5.99 I said no way! Then I saw $3.99...getting better but still it's a hand towel. Finally I spotted them! $1.59 for TWO pretty pink hand towels! Hell for that price I got the matching washcloths also $1.59 for 4. Although I did very good with all this wonderful stuff totaling a mere $27.00, that left $20 in the pocket for dinner. Hello Giant! $17.00 later the staple Kreiner diet of hot dog sandwiches (buy one get one free mind you) with cheese and some milk and cereal were in the bag. So home I went to make my little hotdog sandwiches and watch "To Wong Fu" I found it a appropriate movie for my first night in my apartment.
Before I realized it, it was midnight. Time to put the futon down and try to have a sleep. Beings I still have a cold the coughing was giving me some issues. I think I did sleep a bit but probably not a whole lot. Frankly I was a little disappointed at not receiving any messages at all from Paul to make sure I was ok. I think I checked the phone a couple of times when I woke up just in case. Disappointed but not surprised. Something I need to work on getting over. Everything was pretty quiet until the guy upstairs got up at 6:00 a.m. I'm thinking hey may have overslept he was running back and forth. The alarm went off at 7:00 I hit the snooze twice and finally got up. Had a nice hot shower got ready and out the door. A little later then I wanted too but I still made it to work on-time and in about 25 min. So not to bad.
Lots of thoughts right now. It's a strange feeling, being by yourself when you have basically had a body beside you for about ten years now. I'm not sure how to react. I still slept all the way at the edge of the bed even though I had the whole bed to myself. I'm excited, nervous, a bit scared and worried a bit about being lonely. But this was only night one. I do have my knitting. I plan to buy a bike in the next few weeks. And I have a great nightlife around me. And there is my dancing of coarse. And I plan to try and move Mindy in over the weekend I know she will keep my company. So we shall see, I have no idea what is going to happen with my relationship at this point. I hope everything can work out but who knows, only time will tell. I will try and get some pics up of the place now that there are a few bits of furniture in it.
