alone

I love being alone. A wise old woman once said that privacy is a state of mind...and that statement has saved my sanity many a time. And, really, I don't want to be all alone in this world. That would be awful. But now and then, some time all alone would be nice. Especially at bedtime. I love getting into bed, all alone, with water, cell phone, laptop, Hello magazine, tv clicker, (no snack cuz I have removed my teeth), kindle, ipad, two fans blowing directly on me and at least seven pillows. Ahhhhh....heaven. But, as you can imagine, this almost never ever happens.

Bill has been in the hospital since last Friday. He is just fine and will be home soon. I have loved every single minute of it. Now, if he was never coming home again, I would not be so happy. But there is an end in sight so I can enjoy it!

Another tradition in this house that happens when Bill is away for a night, we order ridonculously crazy amounts of delivered chinese food. Mmmmmmmm.....its so good, for days and days....nothing better than cold chinese food for breakfast.

So, I have to admit I have been kind of enjoying Bill's stay in the hospital. I have gone to bed every night with all my accoutrement, we order silly amounts of delicious chinese food, had long loud conversations with the kids with no tv blasting, played the piano and let all the crap I own pile up on HIS side of the bed.

I think he will be home today and yes, I am glad.
