Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody...

I'm feeling just a little lonely tonight.

Wes is away for the weekend and I didn't go along because I'm still recuperating from my surgery. Those of you who know him, know that he's not a very talkative or noisy sort of a person but I still notice that he's not here.

Kristen's been at work all day and is going out in a little while, Tim's been at work since 2:00 so it's just been Dixie and me. I did some baking this morning but that tired me out so much that I just hung around all afternoon. I'm feeling a little more energetic now but I've got nobody to hang with. Dixie would love a good romp in the snow but that's not going to happen.

I've always thought that I'd be okay if Wes were to die. I don't usually mind being on my own and I can find things to keep me busy. Now that the kids are adults and off doing their own things, the only people around this old house many evenings are Wes and I. And when he's gone, I miss him. I think that's how it goes. The longer you are together, the more dependent you are upon each other. I never thought that would happen to me.

He drives me nuts sometimes, and I drive him crazy too but somehow, we manage to live together and love each other through it all.

Usually it's me who's gone for a night or two. I wonder if he feels the same way when I'm gone?
