Evening in alone

So, this is my first evening in on my own since moving in with a man. It was nice and quiet. I made some popcorn, watched a movie, and continued knitting my skirt (like the first one this one is taking me forever… hopefully it’ll be ready for Easter). He’s gone to hang out at a once-weekly computer group that he’s been wanting to go to for 2 weeks now but never made it (too exhausted, not in the mood for new people), this time, though, he went and took an old computer with him (just the tower) and his little EeePC. He took the subway there, even though I offered to take him by car, simply because he said it didn’t really make a difference because the distances he would have had to carry the big heavy computer would have been the same. So off he went. And in a good mood, too. This should improve his mood for several days and satisfy his desire for input from his peer group, as he was planning to ask for some help on a couple of projects he’s been working on at home.

It’s a quarter to 11 now. I’m going to make myself a hot-water bottle and go to bed. He-who-lugged-the big-old-computer-on-the-subway should be back around midnight.
