I go bonkers when my hubby leaves for any length of time. I plan wonderful meals (he's a meat and potatoes every day guy) that include veggies and shrimp and lots of fish. My vice is sardines ( I love them) so I plan at least one sardine sandwich meal. I quilt and piece for hours on end and go to sleep at odd hours. It's like a holiday! One time, I hired a cleaning crew to come in and clean the whole house including the carpets. He was amazed that I had been so industrious (hee hee). Oh yes, I drink wine that I like.
I usually get the house straightened up first, go shopping for my favorite treats and then the rest of the time just indulge. It is so fun to just do what I want to do without having to stop for someone else. Selfish, selfish, selfish.
