A day to myself
Rob and Kye are in Philly with my in-laws at the yearly big block party they have. I am on-call for work, so I couldn't go up there (too far away).
So far, work has not called, and I have had a quiet blissful day to myself. OMG! Haven't had one of these in... wow, long time. Holy shit. I got the online shopping done. Nothing exciting, just stuff we keep forgetting to replace like sonicare brush head replacements, skimmer net for pool, iPad charger cords, etc. I got it done without interruption or forgetting about it again. YAY for PEACE AND QUIET.
I spent 2+ hours swimming and lounging in the pool re-reading a book. I feel like a million bucks :D I haven't had a day to myself in so long I barely know what to do with myself. I'm giddy LOL! It's beautiful out, so I think next I'm going to take Bumble Bee for a walk and then get a bit of cleaning done. Maybe veg outside in a rocking chair with a book. I could go out and get a manicure even! Everyone reading this is probably laughing at me right now, but THIS IS SO COOL! I'm always working, taking care of the house, the dog, our son, my grandmother, helping someone out with something...
I need to schedule a day a month for me I think. Just having the past 5 hours to myself today has left me feeling blissful. I have always been a person that NEEDS alone time. It recharges me. I get about zero alone time anymore. That leaves me feeling stressed and cranky, and wears me down. Even a few hours having the house to myself would help a lot. I seem to have trouble asking for that. I guess I feel guilty since the three of us (me, hubby and Kye) only have 2 days and a few hours (if that) a week all together as a family. I need this alone time though to operate as something other than a cranky zombie.
Off to go enjoy the lovely weather! No idea exactly what I'll do next, and that feels great!
