My husband is visiting friends this weekend - I have a rare weekend alone and I’m luxuriating in it. Watching the ECF and eating Korean chicken - living my best life. Cheers!

My advice: do what you love, something only you want to do. Read that book, catch up on other things. Personally I had a nice evening alone - cooked, watched some comedy, played with cat. I was so dreading the alone-ness of it all but sometimes I realized I need it to actually relax & recharge so I can be refreshed the next day 🙂

I like going to a low key restaurant with a good book. Or, if it’s a no pants kind of night, Chinese take out and Netflix

Good start! Then watch safe in Netflix. Take a break to grab an ice cream cone, maybe a solo drink at a bar. Then finish off with more tv binging. Maybe have some pop corn

Maybe I'm weird but I love going to the movies alone. I also have no qualms dining alone.
