I woke up in time for work today. This is a bit of an accomplishment since no one was around to ensure I did so, so I'll celebrate it all the same. Tobie isn't going to be gone too long, so I shouldn't stress over it. But I know I shouldn't stay up too late, so as not to risk being late for work.
As much as we share the compound with Tobie's mom, the fact that the Sietch is a separate house unit does limit our interactions. And with Tobie away, the Sietch is a very quiet place indeed. Work keeps me busy for the most part, but at this time of night, there's not much else going on. I've been keeping the TV on with whatever show I feel I can watch without Tobie or with random YouTube videos playing just so it's not deathly quiet. It is what it is.
It's just a reminder that our lives are so deeply entangled at this point. We still have our respective hobbies and things that we enjoy on our own, sure. But we also like enjoying our quiet time together, as strange as that sounds. So we can both be at our computers at the same table and only occasionally chat, and that's enough. It's why we can be on our devices when we eat out, and it feels normal even if it probably looks like we're some very dysfunctional couple or something.
I don't mind the quiet. I just mind that no one's around to share the quiet with me.
But enough of this micro-moment of drama. He'll be back tomorrow afternoon, so everything will be back to normal soon enough. As for tonight, I still have O Bar videos to process and a traffic problem in Cities: Skylines that I need to resolve.
