My ten days of kind of semi-supported but still basically on-my-own independence
Literally how do people do things? My parents have been in Europe for the last ten days and so for the last ten days I've been fending for myself and basically living like a grown up with responsibilities and all that. Living is hard, man.
I'll be the first to admit that my mum does a lot of things for me and I'm pretty much still a child when it comes to looking after myself. I actually think I've done a pretty decent job, though. My poor dog survived after all. I say poor because he clearly thinks that my mum has died and is never coming home and has been in a depression since she left. He's had it pretty good though. I basically have not had a social life in ten days because I feel so bad about leaving him home alone.
The house is basically clean though, that was no drama. The thing I have a real problem with is laundry. It is literally never ending! I'm going to wear clothes every day for the rest of my life. Seriously don't be surprised if I only wear clean clothes like 63% of the time. And ironing is beyond me so that's also probably not going to happen.
It's probably best that I only keep plastic plants as well. I think I've watered the garden 2/10 times and a plant has legitimately shrivelled up and died. I'm no expert, but it's definitely dead.
I used to have this idea of the kind of house and garden and life I wanted, but now I have severe anxieties about my ability to live that life. Ten days have been okay, but the rest of my life? That's pretty intense.
