You would think that having the house to myself, I would happily surf the web, poke around email, write, that kind of thing. But no, for some unknown reason, I can't settle to anything because there's nobody else here.

That so reminds me of my parents. They have different interests, different hobbies. We are, as a family, not much given to public display of affection. But as they're, say, at the summer residence, I see Mom every few minutes cast a look to where Dad is puttering away with whatever interminable project he always has at hand, and every now and then Dad looks to make sure Mom is not completely lost in the jungle of dandelions.

There is a true warmth of domesticity palpable in the air, when the members of the household can comfortably do each their own task, sharing the common atmosphere of avocation -- even if in different things.

Heh! Be glad you're not in my position ;-)

Re:


Ditto... until we get a new washer sorted out, I'm having to do laundry at my mothers... and I am always at a loss of what to do even though she has a computer and DVD player with a widescreen TV... I tend to just sit there a lot and not do anything.

tell me about it - I've had a house to myself all week and spent every evening watching TV and sky movies instead of all the novel writing I should be doing. I think its the dubious freedom of having no one to notice what you're doing, so you revert to a naughty school kid skiving homework becuase no one will know. Until you realsie you haven't done anything and only have yourself to blame (sob sob)
