Being alone. I’m alone a lot of the day or night. My husband works long hours and is on call every day, so his schedule varies a great deal. Oh, it isn’t so bad on nights when he works while I sleep, but the rest of the time, the quiet is deafening.
It’s lonely. Not all the time, but more often than not, there are days and weeks when I would just love to have a real one-on-one conversation with another person. I don’t have a job outside the home.
