with only me and the cat in the house.
Very very odd to know that the rest of them aren’t going to arrive back in the near future (within hours that is, rather than days). Trying to resist the urge to just log back on to work and kind of ignore being here – I should be revelling in some personal space, whereas actually I’m feeling rather lost in it. However, I do have the kettle on, some rice cooking and the oven warming up, so I’m resisting the temptation of just eating crisps and chocolate for tea!
It was quiet at work as well – we’ve a barely more than skeleton staff covering through til the 2nd now. I could easily have left on time, but there didn’t seem much point in rushing home to an empty house, so instead I got petrol and sauntered around Tescos for a bit, getting something half decent to eat for each night. Pathetic that I can’t cook really, but if I bought ingredients, that would be the most sure fire way to ensure that I did end up on the chocolate and crisps 😉
So I’ve perused blogs, read the news, fed the cat, put food on, checked my email and it isn’t my go in any of my scrabulous games, and there’s no one to rant at (I could rant at the cat I suppose, but he won’t even grunt in the right places like Tim usually does) so what shall I do next?
Decisions, decisions. Drove home with a pile of ideas for stories rattling through my head and as soon as I’ve walked through the door most of them have departed. And I’ve all these good intentions for sorting, tidying and cleaning, but really I just want to put my feet up and laze…maybe I’ll have a cup of tea first.
So parents among you all, what would you do with a couple of evenings off? No other half, no children, still got work to go to in the day so it isn’t all luxury, but come on, what would you do?
