A Day for ME!

Today I woke up with a list of things to do. In my head I had the whole day planned out, not one minute was to be empty. However as I sit here now at 5pm waiting for my partner to get home from work, I have to admit half of my list remains undone.  Oh I've completed all the essential tasks such as hoovering, tidying the kitchen, doing the laundry and making the beds etc but everything else has fallen to the side.

What did I find so important that it pushed my schedule so far off track you may ask? Well that's the thing... it was doing nothing! That has put me here in this chair with a cup of tea and Netflix for company.  That's right. Once my essential jobs were done I found myself revelling in the fact I am completely alone for the first time in six weeks.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not a hermit and I do, despite how it sounds, enjoy people and their company. However I am also the kind of person who needs some quiet time now and again. Time alone to watch bad television, escape into the pages of a book or even just stare out of my window lost in thought. Today I finally did that and feel so much better for it.

My list for tomorrow may have doubled in size but I hold no guilt. In fact I am going to make sure I enjoy this evening to the fullest, happy in the knowledge that I'll get to the rest tomorrow.
