Hi

I had a week off; seven days in a row. Once they arrived, I decided to wallow in doing absolutely nothing.

I have a huge capacity to waste time and be very lazy. I slept late. I took naps. I surfed TV channels. I did not read. I did not write. I did not go anywhere. I stayed off of my computer. I did only the bare minimum to survive.

So, now the question for me remains: was this mental break beneficial? We'll see. I needed to feel like I have control over my time. Since my days are usually so full of doing things I have to do, I decided to do only what I felt like doing, which was nothing.

I go back to work this morning. I am looking forward to it, in that it will get me back into a routine. I get more done when I go to work. When I have a seemly unlimited expanse of time in front of me, it slips past within a blink of an eye.

I apologize for worrying anyone.

  5. Hugs...We all need a bit of time we can declare our own. The longer we go without having it, the bigger a chunk we need when we finally take it.

    You should have email and in 2-3 days you'll have yummies.

  7. I agree with everyone else. I unplug every once in a while, too. No phone. No computer. I like to take in a little bit of nature, too... even if it is just watching the bugs fight over who gets to sit on my deck chair. :-)
