I don't do anything differently when DH is home or away. I just miss him being here when he isn't. I do what I want everyday if he is here or not. And he does whatever he wants. We eat salads and whatever he grills if he wants to grill, for dinner, so no cooking unless I want to cook. He makes his own breakfast and lunch. I wake up he's usually gone, and when he comes home I'm usually gone. We meet in the middle most days. LOL
