Alone But Not Lonely

I had a very quiet New Year. Clint is on nightshift and this was the first year in many that I wasn't working myself. Although I had a couple of party invites, I chose to stay in. The thought of having to get dressed up and go out in the cold wasn't appealing at all. Besides I actually like my own company. I like being in on my own.
I spend a lot of my time doing things for the people in my life. I don't often get any time to be completely selfish so when the slither of an opportunity arises I grab at it.
What do I do with my "alone time"? Not much really. It's just refreshing to not have to consider anyone else. I can watch what I want on TV, listen to the music I like or just sit down with a good book and not be distracted or interrupted.
Of course, I wouldn't want to be on my own all the time. I love Clint and the kids too much for that.
