Freedom

Today I'll be at a local festival doing henna. I'm excited about that of course, although a teeny weeny part of me wishes I could be a vegetable all day instead :P I've started packing up my stuff- chairs, pillows, blankets/fabric for tables and so on. Yesterday I bought groceries for the day. I'll be having one of my henna club students help me out. I'm not sure how much henna I'll ask her to do, we'll have to see what her designs are like. I know she's really really excited.

The past few days I've had an odd thought in my mind. I like being single. Not in the "omg-I'm-gonna-date-every-guy" kind of single, but more in that I can do whatever I want, whenever. This past week has been crazy busy after school. Errands to run, work to stay after for and do, parents to conference with. Then Friday I went to bed mega-early and woke up wide awake at 3am Saturday. I've been more conscience lately that I don't have someone else to have to think about. No "I need to make dinner for soandso" or "I might wake up soandso" or "Soandso is asking to spend time with me but I have so much to do". Last night I went to an Oktoberfest fundraising event at a friends house. She has cats. I'm allergic to cats. I was there about 2 hours, and realized I'd forgotten to take my allergy medicine. I was able to leave early, come home and go to bed without having to debate in my mind whether or not my S.O. would want to leave the event also.

This kind of Freedom is nice.
