I left work at 3:00 on Thursday because I wasn't feeling well. I ran to the grocery store to by some medicine and I picked up some soup from the Chinese restaurant next to the grocery store and got home around 4:00 pm on Thursday. It's now 9:00 pm on Saturday and I haven't left the house since. The closest I got was walking onto the front porch to get the mail.
I intended to leave the house today. I was going to pick up another wireless TiVo adapter. But I forgot the cable guy was coming so when he knocked on the door at 10:00 am I was still in my pj's and was 5 minutes from getting in the shower. Good thing I wasn't in the shower when he got here. He left around 11:00 am with plans to come back between 1 and 3 to see if he could fix the problem. That would give TiVo some time to repeat the guided set up. After he left I put in a load of laundry and got in the shower. Then I got dressed and made lunch. Then I tried to get TiVo to work. Eventually it did start to work, but only after Nate (the cable guy) called back to see if it was working and I said no. So he came back with his supervisor and they set up a 2nd card. I digress, this isn't really what the story is about.
After TiVo started working I got distracted. I was talking to Karen. Then it got dark so I decided not to go out at all.
Friday I laid in bed or on the couch all day because I wasn't feeling well. Today I still don't feel well, but I feel better than I did yesterday. I really need to get out of the house tomorrow.
This day flew by. I can't believe it's after 9:00 pm. Morgan is out of town for the weekend. She'll be back tomorrow night. I wonder if my being alone all day Friday and a lot of the day Saturday had something to do with me staying in the house all day.
Sometimes I think that I never learned how to be alone. One of the down sides of being a twin. I never spent much of my childhood alone. Everyone else I know has memories of time spent alone. They even enjoy spending time alone. Not me. I'd much prefer to be with someone than be alone. But not anyone and not many people. Usually 1 or 2 specific people. I am more introverted than extroverted. I am an ISFJ after all.

Really? I love being alone. Well, for certain time periods, after that I do get pretty lonely. Probably part of the reason I've never really been single for a long period of time.
(by the way, I don't feel well either, somethin's goin around)
Are you ever really alone when you have TiVo around?
I love being alone. I'd say maybe it's firstborn thing, but Matt hates to be alone, so it can't be that.
I hope you're feeling better!
