Me-time

[ladysprite]

Sunday was a hectic swirl of emergencies. Wake up at 6:30 am, out of the house by 7. Run around in circles at work without a break for 9 hours, then back to my boyfriend's house for a social evening.

Monday was my sweetheart's birthday, and another busy day at work. No time to come home between work and celebration - baking a splendid cake, and sharing a marvelous dinner. I got home about in time to fall asleep. Tuesday was more of the same... racing through work, then back to visit with my boyfriend and his roommates. Today was my day off, and it was at least calm, but still full of stuff. Shopping, planning, gaming... Tomorrow is valentine's day, to be spent with the sweetie, and Friday is a double-shift at work followed by dinner with a friend.

I have time to be with everyone except myself.

I love being busy, and I love being with my sweetheart and my friends, but I just realized tonight I haven't opened a book in almost a week, except on my lunch break. I'm forgetting what my apartment looks like. I'm lost in my own life.

I don't want to cut anyone off. I like being social. But... Saturday my sweetie is going out with friends of his own. I was going to get together with someone else, but I think maybe, once I get home from work, I'll stay in. Make myself something simple for dinner - quesadillas, maybe, and see if there are any good sappy 80's movies on. An evening on the sofa with my cats and my sewing, and either a movie or a book, sounds just about perfect. I need to remember time for myself every once in a while....
