Solitude and Silence Please

I need only two things Every day after school Silence and solitude To replenish my batteries To rev my engine, so I can return to work tomorrow Refreshed, eager, ready to give it another try My husband loves solitude He relishes it He revels in it He can entertain himself daily He entertains our dogs too The only one he refuses to entertain is Shark Shark is our cat Shark is older now Raccoons have invaded his outside space So I have locked him into my office Giving him solitude Everyone gets solitude here except the dogs. The pony horse dog follows the crotchety old lady dog In and out, around and through, all day long There is lots of silence too. Until a Prime delivery truck arrives Then all hell breaks loose.
