The details are known to friends, and there is no need to go into them here. I'm writing this diary to seek tips and hints from others who have been, or are still residing, where I find myself today...
Single at 40.
What I really need advice on is the logistics of living alone. I was living in a house with a woman who made all the meals. I didn't normally eat things I liked...but I ate well enough to gain a bit of a belly.
Now, only 6 weeks into my new life...the belly is already rapidly shrinking.
So far, I've found that my two most precious items that I brought with me to my 1-bedroom apartment were the 1) slow cooker, and the 2) spice rack.
I've figured out I need lots of tupperware to store stuff in the freezer...powdered milk...and extra virgin olive oil. I did stumble upon the great idea of buying a big jug of vanilla yogurt and a sack of frozen fruit. This makes for a great breakfast, snack, or even dessert!
Now, I've got enough frozen burritos to tide me through a small zombie apocalypse but I think I can do better.
Oh and dating...that's for another diary. But, the next time I go out for a beer with some woman from a dating site and she pulls out her Blackberry, I'm fucking getting up and leaving.
Ok, the floor is yours single people.
Au secours!
