Respite

It’s so quiet after everyone leaves Monday morning.
DeRay and Eddy are driving with Clare to
Richland, Washington, to visit Marilyn;
Amy is off to work.
The cats are outside.
It feels both good and bad.
The good: a rest; a change. 
The bad: Missing my best friends.
A bit eerie.
I’m not well acquainted with solitude.

Enjoy the silence, then enjoy the chaos when they come back!

Yeah, things like cooking, laundry, cleaning - I still feel their presence and feel guilty because I'm not paying attention to their needs. I've enjoyed this rest.
