I’m bored.  Kit is in California visiting her family. Unfortunately, while she’s away some sort of trouble  usually manages to find me. Last year I got locked out of our house in frigid temperatures and let the pipes freeze. The year before I got stranded on the roof when the ladder separated and fell. Kit always leaves a list of “to dos” and precautions. But I forget to read it.

There are advantages to staying alone. I can turn up the football volume loud enough to hear it anywhere in the house.  I can use the dishes several times before washing them. More importantly, the mishaps make me grateful to have a partner sharing my life. I’ve come the realize that needing someone is not a weakness but an advantage for me.

Right now I’m hoping to remain bored. It has a certain comfort value.

Oh!  And I finished the college football playoffs predicting 11 for 11 correctly.
