I sit here constantly with bent ear for the sound of his truck in the driveway. Its driving me insane. And, yet today is another night he is sleeping somewhere else.
Would you feel more comfortable sitting in a coffeeshop, bookstore, or bar? We're talking a $4-8 drink per hour. I try to limit evening hours that I'm sitting at home alone not sleeping to two hours or so.

What's lame about it?! When I go to bars alone--something I never did before this month, picturing a sad drunk guzzling liquor and hoping the bartender or some patron would talk to him--I typically sit near the end, nurse one craft beer of my choice, and read an engaging book on my next travel destinations. Not much different than reading in a coffeeshop! That's enough signal to other patrons I'm busy and not so open for conversation. I do people watch. Saw a lady sit down in the middle of the bar, look both ways apparently trying to catch someone's attention, take a swig, then let out a hardy laugh. One of the guys next to her took that as an opening to turn towards her and ask what was funny and a conversation began.
