So yes...I was at work today. I left looking for all the world like a student with my slippers, UCI sweatshirt, and sad underpuffy eyes. Walking to the car through the empty parking lot felt a lot like leaving lab at some ungodly hour when I was in school. Except this time I'd be going back to an empty apartment.
Don't get me wrong, I actually really like living alone. There are some instances when I'd like to have my lovely roommates back, though. We all got to sit down and have a meal together which hasn't happened since June of last year. We had Sunday champagne brunch at Castaway in Burbank. It was nice. I miss living with them :(
But living alone is infinitely preferable to living with some stranger that I don't really know.
This past week has been a bittersweet one. Brian left this afternoon. We took a rather spontaneous overnight trip to Santa Barbara on Friday/Saturday and the late night drive up (we got there at about 1AM) was the most wonderful thing in the world.
