The not too fun part of being in a quiet house, is that I sometimes suffer from Tinnitus - also known as a really annoying ringing in my ears.
Pure silence can be very noisy, so I need to have some noise in the background (ie fall asleep with the TV still on).
My current fav distraction is Lifestyle channel of Foxtel (cable TV). Watching the Antique Roadshow & house makeover shows is a good distraction (and I learn some useful stuff too)

home alone. Let's see. I'm married to a 56 year old boy with ADD. I kid you not. When he used to go away a lot on business trips (Katrina, Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, oh, and Rita too - hurricanes!) I completely dismantled his office and painted it. and our bed room (separate trips)
I plan big projects.
When he's gone just for a day or an evening, I scale back. I have the kind of fun I can't have while he's there; well, I can, but it's not as easy; big baking projects, painting...
We both like the same music though, so whether he's home or not, the CD is stacked with wonderful music and then left to cycle.

I sort of live alone, if you don't count the 2 cats and the dog. Bonnie (cat) lets me know the sun is rising and she's HUNGRY, so sleeping late isn't an option even on weekends. Well sleeping late for me is sleeping all the way to 7.
So, my current things to do to keep busy after work, when I'm not petting kitties or the dog, is a goldwork embroidery project, and making renaissance era bobbin lace. And making a baby quilt for my neice, who's now 1 mo old
And in my spare time, go for bike rides. Now that it's cooled off somewhat, the grass isn't growing as fast so I don't have to mow every freaking week.Beth
