It is 8:40 p.m. on Friday night. Zach is in bed asleep. Hubby is at a friend’s house. Pearl Jam is playing on the stereo. The T.V. is turned off. There’s a pizza in the oven. I’m sitting on the couch, my notebook computer in my lap. I can hear the swishing of the dishwasher in the kitchen. The dog is curled up next to me. For once, I am alone. At this very moment, life could not be more perfect.
It is really nice to be alone isn’t it? I never noticed how much I’m not alone because my partner is the one with the part time job…but lately I really feel like he’s here ALL the time.
