Words are inadequate

Goodness, yes, the thing where you're the only one awake in the house/apartment/whatever is totally a thing. It doesn't happen very often around here, but there's just an invisible stress let-down of not having to worry about other people. (I can only do it for a while, or I end up sliding into depressive mode, but up to that point it's glorious.)

Also yay friends. :)
