It's weird being home alone..

Things change around here, my hours change, the place changes shape ok it gets really messy because I don't have to worry about cleaning stuff up right away so I don't... and the cat changes her habits.. seriously.

It's just weird, is what I'm saying.

I know exactly what you mean. It's the same here on those ever more rare occasions I get time to myself. Last night was a good example. The sink is still full of dirty dishes and my laptop and related paraphernalia are strewn across the living room. But I like the alone-time. I'm not sure about you, though, as you're not saying. Judging by the time of your post, your nights (or early mornings) get later too. It's the same for me. It's as if other people force a structure into our lives that we would otherwise lack. Is this a good thing?

I quite like it.. at least for a while.. I mean, I like having time for myself.. but when I see no one for long stretches of time it gets weird. I've just really felt it the last 2 days. During the week I've been working so someone's been here at least some of the time, and I've been busy nearly every evening making movies, socializing.. you know the thing :).. so it's not so much living alone that gets me weird, but long stretches of time where I really don't see a single person... ok for a few days but longer than that.. I start talking to the cat more than usual :Z

Yes, I know what you mean. I used to spend a week alone at the caravan (which we no longer have) just me, my laptop, and the dogs. I loved it too, but I did notice, when I went out to the local supermarket for supplies in mid-week, I would find myself uncharacteristically chatting to the check-out girl as if she was a long lost friend :-)

hehe.. yeah, I haven't been alone so much this time.. I have stuff now.. and it isn't that long anyway, but when he was away before for a month I barely spoke to anyone except for in shops or wherever for a whole week..
