Comments on: Being Single Is...: All the Single Hermits http://thenewgay.net/2009/10/all-the-single-hermits.html For Everyone Over the Rainbow Fri, 25 May 2012 18:04:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Wayne http://thenewgay.net/2009/10/all-the-single-hermits.html#comment-16542 Wayne Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:19:57 +0000 http://thenewgay.net/?p=16231#comment-16542 Living in Florida the only bad weather we have is in the summer. Which this year seems to be extending from May to November. No one goes out during the high humidity of the day. Like vampires we wait until the moon rises then scurry about doing all of our chores or visiting when the ground is not 100 plus degrees. Instead of snow we have tropical downpours. These are simular to the heavy rain one expects with a tornando, except without the tornando and it lasts for 3 days. During these gloomy, humid, rainy times I do the same. I rent movies, stockpile the pantry and make meals every 3 to 4 hours. Play on the computer, perhaps have a "FB" stop by if he is brave enough to drive through bumper high water and we do the giggty giggty goo. I like my cave, it keeps me safe and no one bothers me. You have to like yourself when your single and enjoy doing what you want to do. There will be plenty of time later on to compromise with a new BF so enjoy the "its my way" times in your life, you will miss them later, believe me.

It was soooo much fun you wouldn't believe. We basically watched movies, baked cookies, and slept on our couches downstairs in a huge pile of pillows and blankets. Those bears got it right, hibernation is fun.

Fall and spring are probably my favorite times of year to get out and wander in the elements. The summer is just too miserably muggy around here, so I tend to hole up wherever the a/c is blasting, or under a tree with a cold beer. Different strokes, I suppose...

The time spent in the sauna after workouts raises my body temperature enough to make it home w/o freezing my ass off. For every season there is a reason. Turn turn turn. Whatever. Just keep your level of activity up, even if it's indoors. Oh, and get some sun on your face every day... I spend winters doing a lot of yoga and running on treadmills at the gym.

Still, I wouldn't be too concerned myself. Spring always follows winter, and with spring, more going outside, exercising, getting fresh air and seeing people. If you don't have a partner during the fall and winter, you can always keep your eyes open for potentials in the spring.
