My week as a single woman

The husband has been in Idaho for the past week taking care of business related to the property we own there and doing some fly fishing. I didn't go with him because I had to work some this week. So I've been living the single life since Monday and it's been interesting.

A few observations...

The stove hasn't been on since I cooked dinner on Sunday. Oh, I've been eating, but nothing that required me to use the stove.

I haven't had to run the dishwasher since Sunday.

I've been able to leave my watercolor project and materials on the kitchen table for most of the week.

This morning, I didn't even make the bed!

Since the husband has our only car in Idaho, I've had to depend on my kids and a daughter-in-law to get places that I needed to go that I couldn't reasonably walk or use TRAX. For the most part, it's worked out well.

It's kind of quiet here at night. So I turn on the light and TV in the husband's Man Room. It fakes me into thinking that someone else is around.

At night, I can turn the air conditioning down as low as I want so that I don't have hot flashes during the night.

He'll be back Sunday. I think I'll have some adjusting to do.
