I decided instead to give myself a day to adjust to the persistent silence in the house, rather than rush to mask it. So far I've managed only to take a shower and heat up a frozen Healthy Choice. The rest of the day I've spent on the couch, watching Season 5 of The Office on my laptop and sulking.
But then that's it - a larder part of me is not ready to be happy yet. It's not like he died, but he only left yesterday, and I'm still mourning the loss of his form in bed next to me, the smell of his coffee in the kitchen, his shoulder to snuggle against.
Before he left, he hid a note in the cereal cabinet, expressing joy that I'd "discovered the kitchen" (I'm not much of a cook). I found this note today and smiled through tears. I miss him so much my heart hurts.
I have to go back to work tomorrow, so I won't be able to wear away the day in silent sadness. Maybe I'll pick up the sand paper and wood filler on my way home. Until then I have 4 more discs of The Office to get through.
