Why Is It ...

… that everyone needs to know that you don’t come to my house unannounced because I will just stare at you from my window.

… that when it’s nearly midnight and I remember that the sheets and duvet cover are still in the dryer, I think it’d be easier just to book a hotel for the night?

… that no one wants to rehome me. I mean, I’m tired of adulting and I’m housebroken, so what’s the issue?

… that I can be social for like three minutes but then I don’t wanna talk to anyone for four days?

… that people who tell me that I need to relax don’t know that the best I can do is dissociate?

… that my favorite colors are Black. Dark Black. Pitch Black. Pastel Black, Light Black. And Faded Black. Is it because they match my mood?

… that people often mistake me for an adult? Is it because of my age?

    1. I need to know who I'm ignoring.

  2. It is hard to believe how people did drop in unannounced, but they did and were welcomed. If it was a Sunday, people were normally prepared for drop ins, with a cake baked and a kettle on the boil. Now, no I don't have any spare beer, wine of spirits, nor nothing to eat. Fuck off and buy your own booze and buy me some too while you are there. Only then can we each pretend to enjoy each others company.

  3. Why is it that points for your "Why is it?" posts never seem to dry up?

  4. Brilliant group this week. If you come by my house unannounced, security won't let you past the front gate.

  6. I sincerely doubt you are as reclusive as you suggest.
    However, I totally concur on the 3 minutes of socializing before not talking to anyone for four days. Unfortunately, I have a daughter who needs, at minimum, three phone calls a day. It's worse when I'm living with her. I think I need to start hiding under the bed with the cat.

    1. I'm not that reclusive, but I also don't like people ... or so I say.

  8. I don't see much of anyone all week except receptionists, health care workers or grocery check-out clerks. Today we will be with friends and talk about health issues and politics. Then I'll be good for at least another week.

    Adulting is highly overrated!

    1. I try it for short periods of time, but never as a full-time job.

  11. Why is it that everyone needs to know that you don’t come to my house unannounced because I will just most likely be naked!!! In my case!!!

    And I agree about the bed clothes....I hate that. And I meticulously make a bed so it takes me forever.

    1. I am particular about making the bed, too, and if I haven't done it before I go to bed, my entire day is ruined.
      Or I'm just lazy.

  12. I love your Saturday take on life, sweetpea! Unfortunately, my standard black ensemble is in the wash, so I've been reduced to wearing blue striped linen palazzos and a white tee! *the horror* xoxo

  13. I don't have much company these days BUT back in the day folks would know better than come to my house unannounced. It better be an emergency. I like to ensure I have eats and drinks to entertain properly. What are with these people who do. I suppose they were raised by wolfs and better yet no home training.

    At my age, no one will take me in. I am too set in my ways and would cut a bitch.

    People know I am an adult. What's worse is when you are ready to purchase a movie ticket and the cashier says they offer a senior discount. I know I am getting up in years but I am no worse for wear. The cashier was just being a bitchy queen.
