The living room/kitchen are open-concept, so that just isn't really possible. There's no light in the living room portion and the kitchen light covers both.

I arrived back home last night, after being gone for a few days to stay a friend's while she was out of town.

He spent a good chunk of the weekend at my friend's house helping her husband do some chores outside. So I feel more sh**** for being such a bad friend to him.

He also decided to wake up at 6:30am this morning. Why?!!! He spent the ENTIRE weekend (not this one, but the one before) sleeping in until 1pm. Why does he have to get up this early on a week day?!?! I get that people can't control waking up... I'm just aggravated because it is the ONLY time of the day that I get any semblance of privacy from him. So my stress level has jumped right back up to where it was on Thursday before I left! (on which day, I'd woken up with him STILL BEING AWAKE at 6am as he had stayed up the entire night!) I can't predict when he will be asleep or awake!!!

Two more mornings. Right? Two more.

I think mostly I just needed this thread to have somewhere to vent it all out.

Thanks everyone for listening.
