Living Solo in Pigtown (April 3, 2011)



Last week I saw a blue VW Jetta depart with my now ex, one of our pets, and their belongings bound for California. Although we prepared for this transition (and parted as friends), it is a difficult situation that is bringing unwelcome change.

So, it's back to living solo in Pigtown. Back to sleeping with the light on, the home security system activated at all time, and my weapons loaded and ready to blaze. Ok...joking! Well, not really. There is no doubt that coupledom saved me from some creepy ass situations, and combined with a healthy amount of paranoia, I'm not one to underestimate an area where home invasions can and have happened--7 rowhouses down across the street in Dec. 2008. It's not to say that you stop living your life, but staying aware is a must.

Anyway, let's see if my blog posts get meatier with me becoming more vigilant and all.

Maybe I'll get a roommate. Hmmm.
