Actually, I am surprised at how well I am doing without Brett this week. He flew to San Francisco on Sunday afternoon for training with his new job and will not be back until Saturday night. =( We have been separated for longer than this before, but only when I was away in Maryland. I have never been home alone for this long.
The first two nights I did not sleep well. I think I had one eye open all night. Also, I have been staying up much later than usual. It's no fun to go to bed by oneself!! I am afraid that if I lay in bed awake I will hear strange creaking noises in the house and my imagination will get the better of me... So I wait until I am very tired!
God has been very gracious to me and I have felt quite safe. Last night I actually went into a deep sleep and did not wake up every hour throughout the night. Thankfully, Nate is over the chickenpox except for some of the scabs falling off, so he is back to sleeping through the night too.
A bright side to Brett being gone is that I think I get more done. =) It is amazing how much more time I have when I do not have to make dinner! Nate and I have been eating leftovers (and several meals with the Hawkins). I have been trying to make good use of the time and get some Christmas decorations up and keep working on the Christmas gifts that I am making this year.
Even though this has not been as difficult as I feared, I am still eagerly counting down the days until Brett is back. We are more than halfway through the week now!! Hopefully the rest of the week will fly by.
