2.Set aside time to do those projects you have lingering in your head. I’m not sure what it is about Jared, but I just love being around him and doing things together. I can fill that time slot with projects, while he’s gone. My newest project is taking a photography class online.
3. Have a party! Seriously, it’s so fun to host parties and even if all you’re doing is having a few drink with chips and salsa, you’ll get to hang out with friends and make a fun memory!
4. Get your hair done. This may be something that’s just fun for me, but I love getting a fresh cut and color. Jared always notices when I come home looking fly, so it’ll be a fun treat for both of us!
5. Watch all the shows that you don’t watch, because he doesn’t like them. I will confess that I’ve watched a few of “our shows”, because I couldn’t wait. It’s also been a good week to catch up on Teen Mom 2 ;)
6. Take a night for yourself. It’s great to be super productive and take a class, host a part, get caught up on TV, but I also enjoy taking a ridiculously long bath at 6pm, doing an at home face mask, painting my nails and reading. There’s nothing like a relaxing night at home.
7. I really like to clean. I love having a clean house. I really enjoy having a night where nothing is planned and I can deep clean our house. It’s so much easier to mop the floors, when there is only 1 human instead of 2. I don’t have to sit and block the door, telling Jared “Wait, the floors aren’t dry!”
So as you may have guessed, Jared is on a trip this week with one of his best friends. I always enjoy having the house to myself for a while. I definitely am ready for Jared to come home by the end of my solo time, but I think it’s really important to spend time apart. It really makes me remember all the reasons that I love him so much when I only get to talk to him a few times throughout a week. I hope you all are having a great week and have the wonderful opportunity for a “me” week soon :)
What do you do when your S.O. is on a vacation?
