Susan and Eric left yesterday to go to a debate tournament at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Sadly, I am left to fend for myself (someone's got to work for a living, eh?), but then I suppose someone has to look after Boo. It sure is quiet around here....
There was a time in my life when I was single and I lived for this sort of solitude. Just me, my cats, and a hockey game, and I was a happy boy. There wasn't much else that I really needed. Being married certainly has changed my perspective, eh? Sure, some alone time is nice, but I'm discovering that I really dislike being home alone for an extended period of time. It's interesting; I've grown so used to the pace of life around here, and I miss it terribly when it's absent. I also HATE waking up alone. The dog will sleep with me for about half the night, but she gets bored when she discovers that I'm no longer focusing on her, and she'll hop off the bed. Fickle female....
Susan and Eric will be back late Sunday night, so I get to fend for myself. Yes, I can take care of myself, but life is certainly a whole lot more enjoyable when Susan and Eric are here. I wonder if they have any idea how much I miss them??
