Home And Alone

If you have been dropping in now and then to find this blog has not been updated, I must profusely apologize for wasting your precious time. It was not that I lost interest in blogging. It was because I was so busy in many things that take priorities over blogging.

The last 4 weeks were busy weeks. We have overseas visitors staying with us. They were here for a holiday and a wedding. Then, there is the need to catch up with my work before I go on a 2 week + holiday. My boss is no help at all. He promised to help but it all hot air. After the holiday, my work piled up. Two bloody week of work and no one did anything at all and I have this whole week to finish the 2 weeks outstanding work so production can flow continuously. Again, my boss let me down. Look like there is no point in taking a holiday and returning back to work all stressed up.

I come home early from my holiday because I have not enough annual leave. My other half is in KL and having a ball with her sisters, while I am home & alone. Initially I thought it was great with the whole house to myself. I can do what I want - roaming around the house naked (wink, wink, just kidding), eating what I want, having the whole bed to myself and having the TV all to myself. Merdeka!

After the 2^nd day, I miss my wife. The house was so quiet except for the TV. I got no mood to cook for myself or go out to eat. I hate eating alone in public places. So I am having sandwiches for breakfast and dinner just enough to feed me and keep me going. Nothing elaborates – 2 pieces of whole meal bread with cheese and a piece of turkey meat, washed down with a cup of hot cocoa. It is not that I cannot cook. I see there is no point doing the hard yard for a single person. I like thing to be quick and easy.

After living with someone for 20 years, it is hard to live alone. I guess it takes time to get into living alone and I am not sure if I can get use to it. I guess it will be sandwiches and sandwiches for another few days until the other half return home.

Sigh!
