By the way, I'm getting the hang of this living alone thing. I've been alone in the house for 9 days now, and I haven't driven myself completely nuts. I have started talking out loud to Zane more often, and I've been spending a lot more money on text messages to my friends in various surrounding countries, but all in all, I'm doing quite well!
It helps that I can look right into my neighbor's kitchen and watch Pam as she washes the dishes or cooks supper. Likewise, she can see exactly what I'm doing in my little verandah/living room. I can also hear my other neighbors talking in their living room through my bedroom window. Privacy really doesn't exist on this compound, so I guess I'll never really truly live alone, as long as there are people on the compound!
I've also been getting quite creative with my cooking. I made a little potato and vegetable casserole the other day. This evening I made some pasta with sauteed green beans and garlic. Mmmm... it was pretty good. And now I'm about to eat some of my precious stash of chocolate, and I don't even have to share it with anyone :)
AND, get this, I've gotten into the habit of heating up water and filling BOTH of our thermoses with hot water before I go to bed at night so I have lots of nice warm water for a bucket bath in the morning! It's just too cold in the morning (like, 24C!) to take a cold shower. Having to share my hot water thermoses with my house-mates when they come back is going to be tough, I tell you.
