I wish I were alone. Rather, my lazy step-daughter just sits there on her cell phone and computer at the same time, not helping (she got up at 3:30pm). Wife watches tv and does very little. meanwhile , I have cooked shrimp, scallops, fresh rolls, steak, crab cakes, stuffed flounder and longneck clams.
Enjoy being alone. You don’t even want to guess the crap they are watching, ugh.
Wow! I’d stop cooking and just step out for awhile and see what happens after you return...let them stew.
