Solitary Confinement

...That's what it feels like around here most days.

Hubby is either at one of his two jobs, or on duty taking care of his dad. My oldest goes in her room and shuts the door when she gets home. If he ever does show up for an evening, I have to ask him - who are you, and what are you doing here?
(Joking, but it feels like I haven't seen him all year...)
It's pretty much me and the dog 24/7.
I've actually tried talking to the dog, but he just looks confused, then gets up and slinks away.

I check my email box once a day - delete all the junk and move on - never any signs of human life there.

Even facebook has become a place where people just come to do their business (gaming) and move on.

I'm forgetting what my voice sounds like.

Had a surprise visit from my sister this week. That was awesome! Wish I could have held on to her longer, but I know full well how scary that road can be when it starts getting dark.

Working more - longer shifts and more days. Financially it's great - but it sure wears me out. It's truly a physical work-out.
No worries, I'll survive.
Biggest problem there? ...I don't have enough white shirts to work 5 days a week. Ha.

Haven't given up on the crafting - I finished the gothic birdie villiage this week. Just need to embellish a couple of the houses to fill in negative spaces.
I'm pleased with how they turned out. I just need to photograph them now and get them up on the web.

The painting is coming along too - baby steps.

I still haven't figured out the puzzle of my computer, so I'm going to have to have the photos downloaded to a disc and go that route. What a pain, but you do what you gotta do...

Won't be making the trip to pick up Jenny from college this weekend. She got asked to Homecoming, so she'll be staying there.

Hope she can let herself have a good time.

That's it from my isolated corner...
