Alone Time

When Phil and I first began apartment hunting, I knew during the work-week I would be home alone while he was out working. During our first week here, I had a lot to do during the day, from unpacking and getting everything organized and put away. I really didn't notice the alone time, it seemed like I was so busy, he would be home from work before I knew it.

Now that the unpacking is done, and we're about settled in, I don't have as much work to do around here. I wake up in the morning, shower, and attend to my little chores, such as making the bed, starting some laundry, and making sure the kitchen is clean and the birdies are cleaned up. Once I finish this, I have the rest of the day free to just do whatever.

I have to admit that I do like my alone time. I spend a lot more time online chatting with my friend Ryan, which I wasn't doing much of before, and her and I have to have our girl time. But I love being online, I don't know what I would do without it. I spend more time online then watching TV during the day, in fact my TV is usually off until Phil comes home from work. But I notice that at times, I get restless. I wish I had a car, so I could run errands or just go visit my parents or even just do a little window shopping. I look forward to when I know Phil will be home because then I have someone to talk to. But this is nice, I have to admit I enjoy having the day to do whatever I like. When Phil gets home from work I get busy cooking dinner and at night we spend time together, so this is like my time to just relax.

I have found though, that I am doing a lot more of those silly myspace bulletin surveys, to pass the time. I think there should be a survey anonymous!
