I was on my own last week.  Mr. Diva had to travel for work and it’s been a long time since we spent more than a couple nights apart.  He used to travel a lot more and it wasn’t all that difficult for me to adjust.  It was earlier in the marriage, I was already accustomed to being along from my single days and I traveled for work as well.  It’s not that I didn’t miss him, but I don’t think I we were as set in our routines as we are now.

For example, he usually does the kitty litter.  It took me three days to remember and it reminder was far too odorous to forgot any longer.  I still did the evening walk, but it was so boring and long without him.  Don’t even get me started about the whole sleeping thing.  It was fine on nights one and two but I missed my 6’4” heater!

Oh the bright side, I got some things done I’d been putting off, stayed up later, did some girly stuff and made a couple dinners he would have detested.

But all in all, I got along just fine.  No issues at all.  I know that I can still pay the bills, clean the house, find things to keep me occupied, remember to lock the doors and generally I know I can get by without him.  But boy oh boy, it’s so much better to have him home!

How do you deal when you’re spouse is away?  Do you love every minute of it or sit at home pining for their return?
