Well, there was food and stuff -and I wasn't left overnight that I recall until I was into double-digits. I didn't mind everyone being gone most times, it was just when I didn't know they were going, and walked around for hours not knowing I was the only person for miles around. Realizing you're alone and you don't know how long everyone's been gone is sort of disturbing, lol. Or maybe it was just disturbing for me because I didn't have any way to calculate when they'd be back if I didn't know when they left. (I did very elaborate mental calculations of how long it took to drive to town, plus how long between usual stores, plus time to eat, plus time in the different stores, plus probably getting gas, and then driving back home. I was usually pretty accurate.
