The perks of being (pseudo)single

While, on the whole, I'm not happy to be (pseudo)single, there are some perks and benefits. I list them here for your edification, in no particular order:

1. I can clean the place how ever I want (piece-meal) and no one can tell me it's wrong.
2. I get to bed earlier.
3. Even when I don't go to bed earlier, my time is usually more productive.
4. My showers are quicker (versus two-person, non-romantic showers).
5. There is less clutter over-all in the house.
6. No one tells me that I'm doing something wrong.
7. I'm spending more time with my gerbil (what? She's adorable!).
8. It's ok if things are a little bit dirtier than normal.
9. No one complains about my bodily noises and their associated smells (WHAT?)
10. I can sleep in the center of the bed.
11. I am not getting woken up by someone else's alarm when it's not time for me to get up.
12. No TV in the bedroom (cardinal sin in my book!).
13. I can put my decorations up.
14. Surprisingly, my room is less messy (although not necessarily cleaner).
15. No funky sprays (I hate sprays - perfume, cologne, room deordorizer, deodorant; to clarify, I like smells, but not sprays - bothers my nose)
16. I don't have to get out of bed to get something for someone else because they forgot.
17. All the stuff in the fridge is mine (excluding my mom's stuff).
18. I can make tuna the way I like it and not have to make another set for someone else.
19. I don't have to share.
20. Toilet paper lasts much longer.
21. The counter in the bathroom is not always wet.
22. No one harasses me for reading in the bathroom (what? it's my personal library and the last bastion of privacy).
23. I can use whatever towel I want to wipe my hands.
24. It's ok if I forget to close the shower curtain.
25. It's warmer when I sleep.
26. I can sleep with the fan on.
27. I can listen to whatever music I want.
28. There are only 4 boxes of cereal on top of the fridge instead of 10-12 (really!).
29. I can ignore my mom's shortcomings if I choose to (remember, she lives with me).
30. I can do what I want.

Of course, I would rather be coupled and not (pseudo)single and, yes, the alternative is better. But the perks, temporary as they are, can be nice.

Feel free to add to the list y'all!
