Do You Hear That?

No, that! Not the dog barking at the door, the other thing. I haven’t heard it in so long I’m not sure I’m right but I think it is an empty house. Tonight I came home from work with a daughter out of town, and a husband at the movies with our son, leaving me at home, alone… I can’t remember the last time I was home alone in the evening. I don’t know what to do with myself. Just me and the dog for 2 whole hours? Wow!

OK, it’s too dark to do anything with the animals. I could wash that load of laundry or empty the dishwasher. I have toothpaste I need to mix up. (Once you get used to the homemade stuff, store bought just doesn’t cut it anymore, even in emergencies, and I have been meaning to do that for 2 weeks.) I could spend some quality time reading. Or I have several CDs I need to upload to the cloud. There is time to figure that out but I guess I should eat first.

I stopped on the way home and picked up Arby’s. I don’t eat there often but those roast beef sandwiches are a guilty pleasure of mine. No shake either, just the sandwiches and curly fries. Yes I got two. Don’t tell anyone but I got one for the dog to eat half. It was a treat for him too. He normally just has kibble and brewer’s yeast.  OK that’s out of the way. Now what to do…

Hey what’s that!? Is that the remote? Oooo It’s so shiny! I guess I could check to see what’s on. OK, 150 channels and nothing on television. Oh yeah! Netflix! No TV Shows. This is a rare occurrence not a long term commitment.  OK so let’s just scroll through the movies. Hey Romantic Comedies! Oh yeah I wanted to watch this one but no one else was interested. I guess I could watch it and multitask some other stuff.

 I love rom coms with English actors. This one is so good! Why have I never seen this before? Don’t do that! You know you like her! Why send her off to avoid facing the inevitable!? Ugh! OK That is better! Too bad it took someone pointing it out to you! (Uh oh… I just heard a car door. But I am so close to the end! He’s made the mad dash to the airport to catch her at the gate!) Stupid security guard! He’s not carrying a bomb, just his heart on his sleeve! Let him through already! Yay! "Hi Dear! How was the movie? Oh that’s nice. This is that movie no one else cared anything about. It’s actually pretty good." Ahhh! She’s about to board the plane and he’s going to miss her. How will she ever know how he feels about her? Oh that was so close! Ah man! It’s over already?


Wait, it’s over and I have gotten nothing done! But I was going to watch the movie and do other stuff at the same time! Oh well, I guess one more day with the store bought toothpaste will have to work for now. That was fun though. I wonder when I will get to do this again. Only more productive next time, of course. Hehehe.
