ray is gone. he's in florida, visiting his family. he'll be back in 10 days.
he left saturday morning, and --truth be told-- i found myself really looking forward to having the house to myself for a while.
well, that feeling lasted all of 8 hours. saturday night, after the gaggle of women left the backyard pool party, the house started to feel really empty. at bedtime it felt strange locking up, all alone inside.
in his absence i hear no humming from the next room, no laughing. it seems very quiet. ray does a lot of work around the house, too, and now that i have to do it myself i'm really missing him -- a real whole super lot. cat-care, dishes, trash, bathroom-cleaning... it's kind of overwhelming.
but having friends over for a dip in the pool makes me feel less lonely. floating under the stars, gossiping and giggling with pals... it's just great.
the hidden message here is that you should come over for a swim soon, if you fancy that sort of thing. i promise i won't make you help me scoop the litter box or clean the toilet.
