All by myself!

For over a year now many people have been working from home due to the Covid pandemic. Even before this I was home-based anyway, and my partner was at home a couple of days a week, but for a while now we have been together practically all the time.
Things are starting to get back to normal and he did have the option of going in to the office before this, but since most of the people he works with are actually in India anyway then it doesn’t really matter where he is based, so it was easier to keep working from home.
Today though he has actually gone to the office to meet a couple of colleagues who will also be there. This required some late-night organisation of a change of clothes, cycling stuff etc. (he previously got into the routine of cycling to work, which is about 8 miles each way).
Now I am all by myself in the house, which feels quite odd! Very peaceful but strange. And I have to be careful I don’t lose track of time!

@LadyDuck That's awesome . I see people today( couples) get bored of living together for a long time, they seek space ..or i don't know what .
I really admire couple who live together ,every hour and life , i agree its scary at times when such emergencies happen ..it shatters our world

@Fleura when my home is full if I really want to be alone I go outside.

You have been accustomed to your partner being at home all day,so you feel lonely all on your own.Cycling to work for 8 miles each way,he is an enormously energetic person !

Like me I'm always by myself in the house I lived because my daughters needs to accompany my mom to our new house and I can't be with them cause nobody will look after in this old house if I leave it.

It always feels odd for me to be alone in our apartment also. Wow, 8 miles is a long way to bike and that's just one way.

Routine makes us get so used to things that when it changes we feel out of place, a lot usually happens to me.
