I crawled into bed just after 4:00 a.m., Lucy. I managed to doze off when pre-dawn light brightened the room just enough so the shadows no longer resembled shape shifters. Schnoodle Dog slept like a baby all night and climbed up on the bed to wake me bright and early at 7:30 a.m. to let him out. (When you gotta go, you gotta go.) I was Ms. Zombie the rest of the day. 🙁

I’m a little late commenting but hope you were able to get at least some sleep. I remember when my husband was away for two weeks once. The kids had moved away, and it was just me and the cat and the dog, my fearless Jack Russell. He has a big bark for a little dog but doesn’t exactly have a threatening demeanor. He does, however, like to bark at the slightest noise. I’m not sure how I made it through those two weeks, because we lived out in the country at the time with only one close neighbor. I think I might have slept in the chair a lot.

Fun post. I don’t know why things happen when hubbies go away. In my family, that’s when the sheet hits the fan. I have children having all sorts of major crises that need dad. Cars break down, water enters the house, dogs start throwing up. I can guarantee that something will happen when he’s gone and I’m alone without a car!

You are hilarious. I’d stay up all night if I were you and keep writing every night. I installed ADT and won’t get rid of it even though I am supposed to be economizing.

Hilarious! Laughed out loud reading this. But I sure can sympathize. Have felt the same way when my Macho Man is gone.
