Taking myself to lunch

I just now decided that if the weather does indeed change, and hold, I am going to walk to lunch once a week. There are 3 or 4 restaurants within a mile's walk and about 3 or 4 more within 2 miles. This will get me out of the house, give me reason to get dressed, and make my belly happy too ha ha.
3 months of playing dress up games inside have grown stale. And so has not wearing any layers, or any pants Supposedly tomorrow's 87 is the last we should see over 85, and I even spied a 79 in there so I have hopes of at least a crop jacket or light weight pant in the coming weeks.
This will also hopefully help occupy and distract me, with my limited shopping plan in place.

I love it. Go for it. I actually made a date with myself every morning to go to Starbucks, back when I had to leave work due to being sick. I was going nuts, just being in the house all alone. I would get ready just to walk the three or four blocks, get my coffee, sit down to sip it, and walk back home.

Mo, I also moved around with husbands job, leaving me unemployed or under employed. I don't really like the gym but I used to make myself do some kind of exercise, a walk something to get out. I also eventually volunteered, made me think less about how lonely I was...and the shopping budget was gone

Great idea! Even when I'm just planning on working my studio and not seeing anyone, I try to make it a point to walk to a coffee shop or somewhere inexpensive for lunch as often as I can. I tend to work in isolation, and sometimes I really need to get up and out and about to keep my motivation going. It also means I will most likely wear something I *want* to be seen in!

Well, lucky me, it's supposed to be 79 tomorrow. Can't really believe it! Maybe I'll get a ride to the library in the morning from the BF, and then walk to lunch on the way home Might even be able to wear pants!
And, yes, my sanity needs the break from sitting in this condo for too long!

I love going to lunch by myself (or dinner or movies). I like your idea of getting out and getting dressed for yourself. Go girl! You need a YLF buddy who lives closer so you can get dressed to meet each other for lunch!

Well, it wasn't much out of the way of my normal routine of BigLots, the post office, etc. but I stopped at the Mexican joint along the way for chicken tostada. Bonus was, the walking to and from made room for a Negra Modelo and handful of chips in the calorie budget
It started to rain on the way home . . . and not a moment after I walked in the front door the BF called saying he was out front of the Mexican joint to give me a ride home lol. He got a surprise break from work for a bit. Timing is everything.
