Reasons why the single life can be a bit sub par at times (and a good reason why a single woman needs a significant other to boss around):

1. I had to power up the sump pump during a heavy rain late last night, reaching into the ominous webby pit to plug it in(standing there staring at it a couple minutes to get up the nerve), only to have the pleasure of a big brown wolf spider emerging at my bare feet. Talk about the willies...

2. Doing yet another load of laundry that had one lone tissue in it. Obviously they breed and multiply in the washer, and even furthermore in the dryer... (while this potentially has nothing to do with being single, it's tiresome nonetheless).
