La la la la lonelycakes
So, startling realization this evening. Himself is out on a road trip, headed out to Illinois, where I'll join him for our wedding in a few scant weeks. He's taken the dogs (what's a wedding without those you love in attendance?) and hence I have the house to myself.
For the first time in my life.
No, not kidding.
Despite the fact that I spent a good chunk of my 20's living on my own, I always had pets to come home to. In between and during living with family, roommates, lovers...always pets. The house is very quiet without them. It's sort of eerie, actually. You people who live without pets, I envy you the fabrics you can indulge in without need of lint brush, the cheap vacations without need of dogsitter, the ability to have someone knock at your door without round-robin barking...but you're missing some of the best stuff in life, really you are.
That said, I took advantage (shameless!) of the freedom and went straight from school downtown to see the new Harry Potter film. Better than the first two by miles.
