Tuesday night, I had the apartment ALL. TO. MYSELF. Josh was out having a socially distant dinner with friends in the park. Was I already ordering veggie sushi and opening a bottle of rosé before the guy was out the door? You better believe it.
This was only the second time in four months that I was home alone. I'll repeat: Four months!!! My love language might be Quality Time, but I'm also a major introvert, so sometimes that QT needs to be spent with myself. Kicking back on the sofa with a frosty glass of wine, take-out in my stomach and Curb on the television, with zero requirement to socialize (or even stay awake) -- frankly, it's an act of self care. No talking, no self-consciousness, no pressure whatsoever :)
People can get touchy about drinking solo. I totally understand the stigma. Some friends of mine won't even open a beer unless they are hanging out in a group. To each her own! Depending on the day, I look forward to unwinding at home with some wine (and junk food duh). Sometimes, being alone makes things even more relaxing. It's like having a very silent date with myself.
If you're looking forward to imbibing this weekend -- solo or otherwise -- feel free to browse the blog for drink recs. I'm still a big fan of this retooled Paloma, and have recently started trying different craft beer from a nearby shop.
As always, I love getting your input! Do you enjoy a solo drink every now and then? Would you go to a bar on your own? I can do an airport bar alone while waiting for a flight home, but that's the extent of my comfort zone lol.
TGIF pals! xo
