Following myself around
I am off these days from mother duties and everyone is gone from my home. Thankfully, my boyfriend understands that I wanted time to myself and to see what I do. My first out of five, I did nothing, not even cleaned the house. I think my sister catalysted this do nothing attitude on your first day off, which to me was a new thing, I usually would want to clean the house and pretend it's all mine- it's all mine! But this time, I didn't care. I went grocery shopping with the boyfriend too.
My second day, I DID clean the house, but not as much as I thought. It's Terri Clean, I thought. I turned on the radio, swept the floors, washed the dishes, straightened the couch and living room. Then I found myself in front of the computer writing two poems, opened alcoholic container #1, 2, and 3. Three notebooks spread out on the kitchen table. No cares to venture outside of the house on this beautiful day. I ended up taking the dogs for a walk around the block after 10 PM. I don't like talking to neighbors in the day light when I am tipsy or sober for that matter.
Why are we forced to be all smiles and say hi to people, just because we are so darn close to them? Can we come up with a non-verbal sign that says, "I like you and I will talk to you some other time, but right now, even though you are standing right next to me, I don't want to talk to you, thanks."

We can come up with such a sign.
I propose this: that the person wishing to convey the "I like you and will talk to you, etc." message place his right hand over his heart, bow his head, and then shake his head briefly but ruefully.
Of course, you might have a better sign.
