Home alone...joyfully!
I have been home alone for over a year now thanks to a combination of my non-transferable job, the spouse's transferable job, and an empty nest...so here are some thoughts on what the ride's been like! Cooking what I want...or better still, not cooking at all! Yeah, I dislike cooking...given a choice would not enter the kitchen at all. But being responsible for a family for nearly 28 years means one does what one has to🙄! I remember mentally ticking off items on my to do list as I used to lie awake waiting for sleep - school uniforms washed and ironed, snack box for short break, lunch for long break, chapati dough plus veg for 3 lunch boxes, dosa batter/coconut chutney for breakfast, pants/shirts of the spouse washed and ironed, LIC premium paid (oh darn, 😢where did I put the receipt?), electricity/water bill paid, and oh, was the water motor switched on - is there enough water in the overhead tank...what if there's a power failure in the morning and the tank goes dry?...
