My husband has been away for a week and a half, and I must say I have a new respect for military and FIFO partners. I don't know how you do it for weeks ormonths on end! If I wasn't working I think I would have gone mad.
I've forgotten how to live a solitary life, shameful really. But there are some good things about having the house to oneself!
- toilet seat is always down
- whole bed to starfish in
- minimal washing up
- tv completely under your control
And the downsides:
- having to do all those yucky tasks you usually "delegate"
- no one to investigate strange night noises
- danger of going barmy from talking to oneself
And the sappy one:
- the person-shaped hole in you life where your beloved usually is.
How do you combat loneliness?
Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm 33 and searching for my passion.
Until then, I slog away in a cubicle working full-time and focus on enjoying my downtime with things like TV (my old friend), movies, twitter, (trying to) cook, reading and hanging out with my hubby. My head is turned by things like vintage homewares, stationery, chocolate and scrapbooking. I blog about whatever takes my fancy.
