I really do, when I know it's going to happen and plan for it. I don't mean "plan how to fill the time" but "plan that I will have the time."

Sometimes, on nights like tonight, I'm unexpectedly alone and my predominant thought is not "Sigh...I can reeellaaaaaaxx" but rather a mix of feeling lonely and feeling like I "should" be doing something productive while I have the chance. That kind of alone time I could do without. The hyper-responsible part of my brain is anxiously figuring out what I'm supposed to be doing, instead of what I want to do.

The kind of alone time where I know I'm going to be alone, where it's time that I can fill as I want to fill it...that kind of alone time is wonderful.
