I will admit that being home alone, a day, all to myself, has always been a highlight-even as a kid when I could stay home alone. And I loved staying home with my kids when they were small or home from school sick and summer vacation. But the prospect of having an entire day to do absolutely what I want, when I want is a treat. I don't have to be any where or meet a schedule are truly a treat.
A day all to myself is a treat! And my prospective agenda can include any of the following:
-eat cereal for lunch and/or supper (or popcorn)
-watch movies or recorded things on the DVR
-READ!!! Always a treat. And not have to stop until I want to.
-start a project and finish it without having to run here or there or stop to make a meal and clean up from it!
-clean out, toss, re-arrange, paint, rip out carpet or some house project that I want with no vetoing or comments like "I like the color, why are you changing it?" or the like.
-I can type a blog without interruption, except for a pesky kitten who thinks he needs to play-constantly!!
-nap if I want or need to
In short anything I want. Okay I will admit having too much unscheduled time on my hands is not good, I get bored or off track. I need schedules and a goal to reach. But I guess the biggest treat of this day is the entire day is all mine to use as I want.
So getting the things I needed to get done off my list early leaves me the rest of the day to play and relax and enjoy. And this time I hope a pesky tree fire won't change and ruin plans, but oh well, at least things aren't dull!
Positive thought of the day: Enjoy the quiet, down times. Life is busy and I know having too much time alone is not good. But having time to yourself to do what YOU want is so nice.
