You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn't work out.
I adore clothes, I adore drinking. I just don't have the time or the inclination to totally indulge in it.
I have lots of older siblings, and as they started to leave the house, I went from cooking once a week to twice, three times, and so on. After a while, it was just like making the bed.
