I had a doctor’s appointment in Johnson City today. I left kiddos with Grampa and Grama and decided to have some Indian food too.
I L-O-V-E Indian food ... LOVE it. And since the closest place is almost an hour away, I don’t get it as often as I like (unless my husband cooks it which makes my heart super happy.)
I messaged a few friends but no one was able to join me so I brought a good book and myself and am sitting in the restaurant by myself enjoying my alone time and dinner immensely.
I’m also gonna bring some takeout home for JB — will have it for him when he gets home from his 7a-7p shift.
I used to worry about what people thought of me if I ate by myself. While I am sure some people eating by themselves are lonely, I think others, like me, are enjoying themself tremendously.
Don’t feel sorry for me — be jealous. :)

Are you kidding?? ALL moms (at least I can speak for me!) would consider alone time a dream! I don’t even mind the dentist anymore because it feels like a break! Dinner uninterrupted with a book sounds like heaven!
Oh, honey, that's a dream, truly!! Like you, I'm happily married, but sometimes when my hubby's working (like yours!), I fly to Birmingham to see my daughter by myself. I actually get a little giddy because I get to go to a restaurant by myself at the airport, order shrimp cocktail and red wine, and putz on my computer or read a book. i LOVE it, so I totally understand. And it warms my heart to know the O'Connors get to spend it with you -- they thank you and so do I! ;)
HUGS!! ♥️
