I don't always get to spend time alone either. When I do, it's usually while I'm in the shower or while someone else is in the shower or doing other things. I live in close quarters with other people most of the time so I don't really have a place I can go to be by myself. So I just take my alone time in the shower.

I'm staying with my husband, and we do have our own personal time always. I like to surf net, watch television or read a book when I'm alone, or not alone. Sometimes, I'll clean my house, iron my clothes, cook, play with my lovely dog. Well, there are just so much things to do whether I'm alone or not. I will not feel bored being alone.

I usually spend my time alone (which is very rare nowadays) reading books. If I am too tired, I take a nap. But I prefer reading books because I get to learn new things to improve myself and my life. Sometimes, I clean up a bit but not really the "hardwork" cleaning, it helps me to relax doing manual work instead of mental work.

Seems like time is not in your favour at all, so you must really cherish your time alone. As for me i have a lot of time alone. Most days when i get home from work i just chat with dad for a while then i'm alone in my room, i'll go down again round 7:30 for dinner and little bit more chit chat then back to my room. I spend my quality time alone by reading, meditating and surfing the net

im also a busy person due to work. but when i get some spare time.. i do reading and surfing. especially now, im into the twilight fever, so i tend to finish all the four books. sometimes i also go out with friends just to eat dinner or catch a movie. those things make me shake off all my stress. :)

I live by myself and do enjoy it.....I have unrestricted use of my time. I do get alot of company but when I am alone I am not at a loss for things to do. I work fulltime but am an author too...so when I am at home I am working on my books or crafts.....and particularly love scrapbooking...

When my kids are awake I dont get any time alone being the sole parent. So when they go to bed its my time to just sit and relax. My man has been over the past two nights. He is going to 1000 islands this whole weekend so I wont hear from him much because he will be partying with his friends. I would have loved to go with him but I wasnt invited and wouldnt have been able to anyway. I should be sad to not hear from him much but I think for tonight it will be nice just to be able to relax watch a movie and be online .

Fortunately, I do get time alone. Some days, I get less time alone than others, but that's how it is. Normally, I just relax, watch a movie, read, write, or something that is similar to that.

I don't get a lot of alone time either. But when I do I like to enjoy a good book. If I try to read while everyone around me is busy I can't concentrate so I like to have quiet time to enjoy reading.

I look forward to it....I am never lonely when I am alone I just enjoy the quiet. But that is because I have family when I feel the need to be sociable. If I didn't have loved ones being alone would be the worst feeling in the world and my heart goes out to anyone who is alone for that reason. Happy to share your views. Happy myLotting.
