I think I'm ok with it for work - I work alone from a home office. But when I'm not working, I do get a little lonely for example, if I find myself spending a lot of weekends alone at home. But maybe that's just because I'm sitting there doing nothing more fun than laundry and housecleaning. My girlfriends are often busy with their kids & families on the weekends (I have no kids; live away from family).

So. I've decided that I'm going on my little roadtrip alone. I don't think I want H to come because I'm tired of making compromises for the sake of spending time with him. I'm not trying to be vindictive, I just would like to be able to do what I want for fun, for once. This way too, I can bring my art supplies and do some plein air work. And I won't have to worry about whether or not he thinks I'm boring, or changing what I'd like to do for the sake of making sure he's having fun. Poo on him. (Okay so maybe i'm being a little spiteful) And I'm thinking of a couple other roadtrips / painting outings I'd like to make over the next few weeks while work is quiet too.

PS - Time and CL, thank you again for all your support.

I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
