It is still 15 days away from seeing my wife back from Taiwan again. So, in the past 10 days I was virtually home alone."Home Alone!" sounds very lonely, miserable and depressing. Since my two children are both grown up, even though the younger one is still living with us, most of his daytime and early evening are outside. So my wife's being away for nearly 1 months is indeed a "home alone" experience to me. And it is really making me feel lonely, though not really miserable and depressing. But I have coped with it skillfully.I cook; I read; I write (this blog is one of them); I do DIY, and I browse on the Internet. And then I find 24 hours is not long enough for me, thus the feeling of loneliness and the thinking of my wife are becoming not so acute.Friends, what is your home alone experience? What is your solution in coping with it? I would love to hear from you about your experience and your tactic.
Thank you for the ideas of coping with the loneliness when home alone. Also thank Akiyo for sharing your experience of home alone, and your suggestion of mastering the cooking skill during my wife's absence so as to surprise her when she returns.
While my husband had gone to a business trip, I had been "Home Alone." However, on the other hand, I really enjoyed my home alone period with watching movies, going shopping, going a hair salon, meeting with my friend, etc.
OR, why don't you practice cooking to make some meal for your wife?
If you cook something for your wife when your wife comes back, probably
she would surprise and feel happy for big suprising gift !
