Thoughts

I live alone. Well - without fellow human companionship. Can't really say I'm alone with a pup and three cats in the house as well (along with 4 fish).

And for the most part I wouldn't trade it for the world. I like having not to answer to anyone as to why I didn't put my dish in the sink, let alone the dishwasher. If I want to go out after work I do not need to call home and tell someone to not hold dinner, or worry about getting kids off of buses.

The space is mine and I own it all.

However, every now and then, while sitting and watching TV, or curling up in bed with either the latest yarn project or a book, I look around and miss human companionship that is not in a work environment.

Sometimes I miss not having someone to sit and watch TV with to discuss what it is we are watching. Or to make cookies with. Or sit with on the front stoop and watch the world go by. Or to subject to the 4 chocolate cakes I ended up making because I didn't like how any of the first 3 turned out.

Or even just to have someone there and give me a hug to chase away the occasional case of the lonelies.

Interwebs are nice for keeping contact, but they do not offer the same instant gratification as someone in the next room.

And I don't know why today, why now. But I have a case of the lonelies.

Welcome to Tuesday. It's the day before Wednesday.




Maybe I'll go color.

I know its not the same as a heartbeat in the house... but I've been there. I get it. ::hugs:: I wish I could offer more.

Been there. I loved living alone, for the most part, but there were times I would really feel the lonely - and I had no pets. I did have a great neighborhood pub.

While I'm much more pessimist about it than I used to be, this is still why part of my yearns for a huge plot of land with multiple houses, and a "family" house where you and I could walk down the hill or around the barn and meet in the farm house's country kitchen and make cookies while watching musicals and our lovies would be happily in their own spaces donig their own things. And we could wash up and go home to our own beds.

I'd even clean the family house in my traditional way for you for old times sake if you wished. ;)

I know exactly how you feel. When the kid is not here, it is just . . . quiet.

Days like this are hard. So many of us do know what you mean, and sympathize with you, because it goes like this: It would be nice to sit in a comfy chair, or my rocker with my embroidery, and exchange thoughts or comments. Nice to have an extra pair of hands around sometime. Nice to have both a little motivation, and sometimes the opposite : someone to say, oh, blow it off and lets...
I know that you know - but people care. Zen hugs to you, even though you need a real one.
I am grateful for being able to keep track of people I care about this way. When life overwhelms, know that so many people CARE about you.
I do, evn though I seldom see you any more.
