Jeff, that is awesome. I am so glad you went out. I can spend 3 hours just going to Barnes and Nobles or Borders, having a coffee and looking at books, then getting some dinner.
I have eaten solo at Texas Roadhouse a few times. I love their Pomegranate Margarita, prob. not on your approved foods list though! And I always eat too much bread, I love their butter....ok now I am hungry...
Sounds like things are going well for Jeff, regardless of W. You are getting your room organized and more comfortable, you are enjoying your free time, spending time with the boys, etc. Good for you!
