I know that Melissa, username "Lissa," her boyfriend is a firefighter. My hubby is in medical school and he has crazy hours and overnight shifts. He had to work a 30 hour shift today/tonight so I've been by myself today and I will be tonight as well. I just take these opportunities to lay around all day in my PJs, watch Lifetime movies, not worry about cooking or cleaning up, and watch all the episodes of Oprah that I recorded this week. I miss my husband, but it's nice to have some alone time, too. I am probably in a very similar situation as you bc we recently moved to a new city and I have no friends here. So it's not like when hubby's working I can just go hang out with my friends...I have no friends here...so, it's just me and the dogs!
