Time Flies

I've been alone for about 2 hours. The house is quiet.

Well, no. I have music blaring as loud as my little stereo can handle. Remember, this was one of the things I've missed since having kids.

So, what did I do during my furlough?

I went to my wellness workout, then got a coffee. I sat in there a bit, reading my "new" book, The Ladies by Doris Grumbach, about a lesbian (yes, I know, they wouldn't have used that term) couple in 18th-century Ireland. Then I came home, after dropping off Goodwill and the dry cleaning, answered a phone call, wrote a few emails, vacuumed and swept the downstairs, sorted/purged kids books (to make space for all those new book order purchases!!!), went to the bathroom by myself (another thing I miss), am now blogging . . .

. . . and now the timer is telling me it's time to go get the munchkins.

Not bad for a first day by myself: no tears.

I could get used to this!
