It is quiet here in the Land of Spo. Normally Someone has the TV going 24/7, which is heard throughout the house as a sort of background music. The TV is off and will be so for the next 4 days. As a consequence, it is eerily quiet. The silence is only interrupted by the motor of the AC. It gives me the willies. Harper is not at ease either; she misses her Someone.
A few hours ago a mug fell out of nowhere and shattered all over the floor, making us both jump. I hope Henrik isn’t going to be too difficult this weekend.
Friday night is being spent doing as much paperwork as possible to free up the rest of the weekend for ‘Spo chores’ viz. sewing and tailoring and going to the Mac store. Someone asked our mutual friends to check in on me lest I ‘work all weekend’. I am supposed to make an appearance at an office party tomorrow night.
Being alone has some advantages. I am playing music normally gives Someone headaches. Here’s a few –
Enya
Kate Bush
The Specials
Lola Beltran
Tonight I get to spread out in bed like a swatsika.
Tomorrow I will have a little mayonnaise on my burger bun. Mayo makes Someone very ill so it is normally banned from the house.
That is all the (non) news from my part.

Enjoy! It’s like having a child-free weekend.
(Not that I’m implying Someone is like a child. That’s just a reflection of my life, not yours.)

Indulge your freedom…play what you want, eat what you want, do what you want. Personally, I like running around naked singing and dancing to songs from Broadway shows at the top of my lungs and eating cereal out of giant bowels with serving spoons while laying my comic books out from end to end and covering the entirety of every floor in the house for no particular reason…just because I can…but that’s just me.

“…eating cereal out of giant bowels…” You are an extremely imaginative and innovative man. I am afraid to ask how do you do this?

Haha, I just commented on your FB about Henrick. I guess he misses Someone, too.

Hold on, Spo. I’ll be there soon. I’d be there by now but got a little lost. I KNEW I shoulda taken that left turn in Albuquerque.

Enjoy your solitude! Maybe if you recite the Hanuman Chalisa that will keep Henrik at bay! Sri Hanuman has dominion over all ghosts and goblins!

Now you know how it felt for Someone when you were “frolicking” in Hawaii.
Now you can dance on the table and mimic some song in [or sans] your underwear, and no-one will know. Harper will hold her tongue if you give her enough dog cookies. 😉

Jump on the bed! Build a tent fortress! Eat Crackers in bed!
Or maybe wait till he gets back to do that. 🙂

Spo.
You really are funny. I wish your life was a reality show on TV, it would be so much better than ANY of the dreck that passes for ‘reality’ on TV now. I love you man.

Thank you very much; I have never seen any reality TV so I must take this as a compliment! 🙂

Do you have your cha-cha heels on while you dance around the house to the song on the video?

Spo,
It is a compliment.

Don’t you relish the quiet sometimes? I usually have the TV on at all times myself but rarely pay much attention. You have a new perspective of Harper since your partner is gone. I’ve often wanted a nanny cam to see how my girls behave when I’m away for 10 hours a day sometimes.

Nice to have ” absence makes the heart go fonder”. Rather than ..” makes the fart go Honda!”

Enya and Kate Bush are fantastic, throw in some Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson and that’s my sort of soundtrack.
I don’t like to be left alone either as I tend to use my partner as a soundboard, it’s not much fun talking to a couple of cats and they aren’t as forgiving of my ramblings.
I’ve been following your blog for over a year and this is the first time I’ve responded to one of your posts. Greetings from Toronto.
