                    Oh Kaboom! I can't imagine someone staying for so long--I'd probably end up putting 30,000km on the car, if I had to spend 8 months avoiding company!
  Thanks for stopping by

                I mean of the car, driveway as a haven, driving is a catharsis for me too!  As for having company, I understand that too....this is a little different, but we had my mil living with us for eight months.  I went driving every day, taking my laptop with me and writing in the car at the beach parking lot (engine off, windows open.  No way did I leave the engine running like so many people here do!!).  It is the thing which kept me sane!!

                    Naut,
  I'd head straight for my workroom, but we have an open concept sort of house--there's no door for them to knock on! 
  The car, however, is off limits to pretty much everyone, so that's my safest bet for hiding! 
  Thanks for reading

                    Wiley,
  It sure is!! This will be the first time I've allowed anyone to spend the night in my house--it will be a new experience, if nothing else.
  Thanks for reading

                    Kabu,
  Having someone special to share it with seems to make the space that much nicer!

  I do like to hide out in my bedroom if possible. But just in case, I've got a full tank of gas in the car!

                    Pat,
  I'm sure we'll all have a good time. Mark's already planning his BBQ menu for the week, so at least I know the food will be good

                I actually like guests who come early and leave late...but then the leaving part breaks down sometimes...which is why I keep an eagle eye on designated drivers...and of course with relatives from out of town things break down completely; and I too retreat sometimes, to my study, where everyone knows they enter ony by invitation...

                I can really identify with you luv, I like the guests gone quickly so I can reclaim my space too. Now with Kabu here, I don't feel the need for other people. LOL




Ain't love just grand?

                    Sira,
  If you start getting too uncomfortable, go and take a nice long hot bath.  If need be, excuse yourself to your bedroom and find a book to read for half an hour or so.  Don't worry too much, it's only for a couple of days.
