I've been observing my own behaviors over the past month, and have realized that there are many things that I do when I'm alone that I do not do when my husband is around.
A great example of this is my (almost obsessive) methodical repeated checks of my favorite websites. When my husband is around, I may check my email once a day...facebook maybe once ever 2 days...and favorite video production sites once a week. With him away, I'm checking all of the above at least 5-6 times a day. Always in the same order...and now that I've started this blog, I may include this in the loop of obsessive checking! :)
I suppose this is an attempt to fill in those moments of anxiety or boredom...and I guess it works...so no harm done.
Another thing I've been doing while I'm alone is reading in the bathtub. I have done this with my husband around, but not to this extent. I believe that I have been having a minimum of an hour long bath every night, and always with a book in my hand. In the month that my man has been away, I have finished 3 Steven King novels (Duma Key, The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three) and I am now working on the 4th one (The Wastelands). Again, no harm done as I am reinforcing my reading skills, and I smell REALLY GOOD!!! :)
I guess the other thing that I have been doing, is SINGING....oh my....
I have mp3's from my favorite musicals on my computer, and they have been playing on a loop. I am dancing around the house singing along to songs from Rent, Hairspray, Little Shop of Horrors....*sigh* I wonder if I sound good to anyone but myself. I would say no harm done, but I cannot speak for my poor pets who have extra sensitive ears! :(
So why do I choose to write this, well, I don't think anyone will read this for one thing, and I'm looking at it as a journal, one which is written for me. But I figure maybe I'll start to enjoy this, and maybe my husband can read my "blog" while he's away, for updates on my innermost thoughts? lol
We'll see.....

Sonja,
ReplyDeleteI think that this is an awsome idea for you to do while Brent is away.
I know you must miss him terribly.
its funny how when you are without your signifigant other, you realize how much they are a part of your daily life and habits.
I look forward to reading more of your blogging.
Sending you good vibes from PEI
