There are a few down sides to coming home after 5 days of travelling alone and deciding to relax and not leave the house for the next 24 hours.

First of all, not only had I been very alone for 5 days, but I opted to be alone for another day after that. Silly.

Secondly, since I cleared the house of food before I left, there's not much to eat. So, combined with yesterday's terrible lunch in Barnett, TX, and last night's dinner of popcorn, I had a feast of more popcorn for breakfast this morning, and that's it. I could go to the grocery store in order to buy something for dinner, but, there's a lot of stuff we need and I hate wasting a trip, so, first I'd have to make a list, then drive there, then do all the shopping, then drive all the way back, then put all the stuff away. By the time I'm done, it'll be at least 2 hours and I'd still have to make dinner. So, the only sensible option is to eat out (again) and then do grocery shopping either later tonight or tomorrow morning. The only problem is, eating out means eating out alone again and, for me, the only way to make being alone feel even more lonely is to be alone in a place where people rarely go alone.

But, hungry I am, and eat I must, and out there, food there is. I don't know why I'm writing like Yoda.
