I have never been alone in my home before, and suddenly I am finding all kinds of little drafts.
It is funny how much colder a home feels when you are alone.
There isn’t anyone to take your attention away from the cold, or the odd little noises that are in a house. I know my husband will only be gone for a couple days, but I’m not liking it already. I go away for a couple weeks, every summer. He always says how quiet it is and how much he enjoys it. He has the air conditioning to block out the sounds in the house. It is winter right now, and I don’t have the drone of the air conditioning. I have the sound of the heating, but it is not very loud. We have a boiler and only occasionally do we hear the heating coming through the water pipes. I’m sure I’ll hear it more now that my husband isn’t here. I’m hoping I do hear the heating turn on. It will be comforting to hear something other than nothing. I don’t like the way it is so quiet here. I don’t like being alone. I hope this doesn’t happen too often. I may be turning up the thermostat just to make the furnace turn on for the noise. When my husband gets home, it may be really hot in here. I’ll have to tell him he can’t go away without me, ever again. With my luck, I’ll run out of oil and the boiler won’t work for long. I won’t be able to turn up the thermostat because without the oil, the furnace won’t work.
