Not a military wife

Well, not a wife at all actually, but I have realized that I was right when years ago I said I couldn't handle being with someone in the military. There is no way I could be left alone for long periods of time.

I feel kind of wimpy, whining about being alone. I am usually such a strong, confident person. But this week I'm a total nut case. I do like being alone sometimes, but usually my alone time ends when someone comes home. Not having anyone else home for days is not good for me. Every noise makes me investigate what it was so I don't start imagining people in my back yard. I haven't been sleeping well at all.

I'm now preparing for the possible freak out that could happen if we do get the scary storms that are expected. I imagine the power will go out and I will be all alone in the dark. And that won't be fun. See-wimpy. I used to love storms! What the heck?!

I am actually dealing with the loneliness better today. It's half over, so I can see the end is near. And I've just kept myself busy with phone calls, catching up with TV, and cleaning. So I am capable of dealing with an empty house. I just don't like it.
