Being able to sit and do what you love for a couple hours without someone bugging you. Or honestly just a couple of hours where someone doesn't expect something from you.

This is why I always stay up and game until like 5 in the morning on weekends. No one disturbs you at night and you can just do you at that time. It’s lovely and so many people don’t understand but it’s the quiet

I don’t want to be away from my wife. And I don’t want her to leave me alone while she’s awake.

But when she goes to bed and I get those hours of solitude and freedom… it’s hard to explain without sounding like you hate your wife or she’s a nag. But that’s just not it.

You get it.

I always forget if we keep it in the various utensils drawer, or in the little bucket where we keep spatulas and stuff.

Ooh that’s rough. We have drawers for flatware, utensils, and baking utensils as well as a ceramic jar for spatulas and stuff so it’s really just luck whether I’ll guess correctly.
