Too quiet

I'm sitting here all alone in the house on a Tuesday night.  For nine months Tuesday night was babysitting night and then for five of those nine we added Thursday.  Since the kids finished their house and moved out, we've been out of town or doing other things so this is the first quiet Tuesday night I've had.  I can hear the crickets outside and the sound of my own breathing.  There's plenty on my to do list, but just for a few minutes, it's good to sit and listen to the quiet.
