a very odd dilemma

This one has to do with [livejournal.com profile] deguspice. He's been out of town for a few days, and I am finding that while I miss him in some ways, in other ways I am very much enjoying being alone. This especially is true of my energy level, chores, accomplishing various tasks, etc. I zoomed through a number of tasks today, stopping only a couple of times, and then briefly. At the point where I *thought* I'd have my daily nap, because I was pretty tired, I went outside and gardened for over an hour instead -- and am less tired now. I even washed the kitchen floor, one of my *least* favorite tasks, and one which is normally his job, but it needed to be done before he gets back.

Of course I love having him around, and he's my husband and all... but I experience better "flow" when he's not here. Now what do I do????

*laugh* It's perfectly normal, dear, really. I know there are couples who take separate vacations for precisely this reason. I myself am very much looking forward to a roadtrip alone. Personally, I'm less happy about being home alone with my sweetie away for a long period, but I do enjoy having at least one day or evening per week that I can putter around without him in the way.
