Alone?

I have been for nearly three months.

My wife of 35 years has been in Texas since February, helping our youngest daughter get set up after a military transfer from Hawaii. Household goods delivery finally happened a couple of days ago. They are still unpacking.

I have been here by myself, pacing in circles and talking to myself (and the cats, dogs and chickens).

I am getting tired of hearing the sound of my own voice.

I am 58 years old and have always been a 'loner'. Aside from my wife, I have 2 people I would consider 'friends'. One lives 500 miles away and the other is 74 years old and doesn't get out much.

Yeah, being alone can suck. I had a UPS delivery scheduled for today, but it got rescheduled for tomorrow. Damn. I was looking forward to talking to the UPS guy.
