For the first week I totally enjoyed having the house to myself. It's nice to be freed from the couple routine. I watched whatever I wanted on TV and spent some rather indulgent evenings with chocolate chip cookies. I had plans to go on a juice fast while Harry was away but that never came to pass. One night I had a sandwich for dinner. Bliss! But you wouldn't want to do that all the time.
I also finished about four books, cut my finger badly, had dinner and drinks with a few different friends, enjoyed overnight visits from a girlfriend and her daughter, brushed the heavy snow off all my shrubs resulting in a pulled muscle in my chest, and walked lots with Geordie.
But mainly I've been continuing the sorting and culling in preparation for our move in mid-April to our smaller home. Just about every day I've taken at least two boxes out of the house and either donated or consigned them. There's a huge pile of stuff in the garage that's ready to be taken to the dump. Progress is being made. Tonight I used up two containers of chicken and broth in the freezer to make a nice curried chicken stew to welcome my sweetheart home. It will be nice to be a couple again.
Enjoy having him back!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post today. You both are so lucky to have each other.
ReplyDeleteHow is Geordie doing ?
cheers, parsnip
Hey Parsnip, you are so right about that. Geordie is doing fine and I think enjoying some extra attention now that he's the "only" dog.
