Dear Reader,
Usually it's me traveling on the road for business, but it's my husband that's gone this week. I was thrilled to kiss him good-bye at 4 a.m. the other morning. Thrilled that it wasn't me heading to the airport. It's nice to know how the "other guy" feels for a change and I went back to bed.
I told him I was going to miss him, which is true, but I admit that secretly I've been relishing the idea of spending some time alone. I pictured it like taking a vacation by myself. I've never done that, but when I hear people talk about it, it sounds so introspectional.
Since I'm home alone, my schedule is completely my own. I can write all day long--no interruptions. If I'm up at 4 a.m. I can crank the music and dance around the living room. There's no need to clean as I go every day, I'll simply do a clean sweep before he comes home. I can eat whatever I want--but the truth is I can do all of those things when my husband is home.
Actually it's pretty quiet around here--too quiet. My two cats and I are doing our thing, but our thing is pretty much the same thing that we do every day, and we all seem to be missing something. The pretty remarkable guy we live with.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Gratefully,
Suzanne Beecher
