Everyone is away. Beloved Husband is on a business trip; Offspring the Third is at a school function; Offspring the First and Offspring the Second are away at college, as usual; and Cherished Friend is in his own corner of the desert. And much as Herself enjoys a bit of Alone Time, this evening she is particularly acutely aware of The Distances. Alas.
She resorts to tidying closets and organizing things. It's not much comfort, but it'll do.
Missing someone, they say, is self-centered.
I self-center you more than ever.
