I'm a loner, I've never denied the fact. Even more so as I get older.
When I'm with a lass I get lazy, I suppose it's the pig in me but I expect the women to do everything about the house. I'm old fashioned like that. Again as I'm getting older, I'm realising that's not really any good for me.
Live by myself now and do everything for myself. Washing, cooking, cleaning. No sweat. I do all my ironing, I wouldn't trust anybody to do my stuff. I iron everything from socks, underpants to even all my towels. Make my bed as soon as I get up as well. Hate mess.
I've got a dining table as I like to sit down and enjoy my meals, I hate eating from my lap and don't want food spilling on the settee.
At times it's hard, I've moved miles from where I've ever lived before. I don't know anybody here and nobody knows me. Not going to go into the reasons, but I wanted a fresh start and to start a new life, and that's what I've been doing for the last year. I have my dog living with me and I couldn't be without her, you are never lonely when you have a dog.
I have made contact with the mental health centres and registered, but that's it. They are there if I need them, and that's the way I like it. Fingers crossed, I've never used them yet and hopefully never do. I still struggle with my memory at times, so I've taken to writing important things down as to keep my life running as smoothly as possible. It's more than manageable though.
I'm playing Football again, every Thursday.and I see my brother one night a week for Snooker. That's enough to break the week up for me and I can honestly say I'm the most relaxed and content, that I have been in many a year.
Apart from family and my best mate, I very rarely have anybody over.
