Do's & Don'ts - The Spinter's Guide to Surviving Lonely Nights and Days

Do's
  1. Do wear good underwear - always wear good underwear. If you are ever found lying unconscious alone in your apartment, at least you have good underwear on when the paramedics/firemen come to your rescue.
  2. Do allow yourself to belt out the spinster theme song "All By Myself" - good cathartic release of pent-up energy.
  3. Do yoga - it's my solution to all problems. Plus, it's the best substitute for sex (better than chocolate because it does not make you fat).
  4. Do celebrate your own divinity - if you don't, who else would?
  5. Do splurge on luxury bedding and lots of pillows - I feel safe cocooned by mountains of pillows.
  6. Do chores (i.e. vacuuming) in sexy underwear - when else do you get to use those? Don't waste it - it's cooling to do chores in underwear.
  7. Do blog - you still have a voice, put it out there.
  8. Do self-indulge - treat yourself well.

Don'ts

  1. Do not keep cats at home. In case you fall unconscious, the cats may eat your face.
  2. Do not stuff your face in a tub of ice cream. Never let yourself go even if you feel undesirable - at the end of the day, you still have to look at yourself in the mirror and feel super hot.
  3. Do not drink yourself silly (hmm...maybe unless you completely pass out from the consumption).
  4. Do not watch romantic movies or tv shows - stop reminding yourself of that elusive prince who chose to frolic with the young'uns instead of finding his way to you.
  5. Do not befriend the neighbour except for the sweet old friendly couple.
  6. Do not let anyone tell you that you're a lesser being because you're partnerless.
