The worst thing about living alone is when you are sick.
I am very independent and very happy being on my own most of the time, but when your feeling under the weather there is nothing that better than having someone to nurse you back to health. Even silly things like refreshing your glass of water can be an exhausting when your room is spinning every time you lift your head off the pillow. I have quickly learnt that the best thing to do when ill is set up camp of the sofa as trips to the bathroom are fewer than trips to the kitchen (for food, drink, hot-water bottle replenish) and gives you easier access to DVD player, book shelf etc etc.
I have meal times down to a "t" now. After years of practice I have learnt that as long as you have cereal and soup you can survive for a good few days.
The worst thing is having to dry your own hair. Not being one for laying around unclean for days on end, no matter how unwell I feel I like to have a shower, but your hair takes a considerable amount of energy (especially with the amount I have) and often means a few hours of sleep to recover.
