I am trying to start my free time (or perhaps each day) with the question: what would you like to do today? Or, what would make you feel most like yourself today? Or what would make you feel most free today? Or if you were traveling, what would you do today?
Obviously I still have to go to work. And I still have errands and other “home” obligations. But setting those aside, I do have some time to myself, since I am waiting for feedback from Editor #2 before I start my edits and since I do not have someone significant to spend every waking moment with.
Yesterday my answer was rest. In part because there seemed to be nothing else going on and in part because I didn’t feel like wandering, which is my other option during travel when there is nothing else going on.
So I stayed in and watched my guilty pleasure show (The Bachelorette), watched Harry Potter with the roommate (we’re getting her up to speed for the upcoming release of The Half-Blood Prince), walked to a nearby restaurant and ate one third of a giant burrito and read more of Eat, Pray, Love, which I can’t put down. Again.
And tonight is somewhat similar. I’m home early and eating more burrito. But I did go to the bookstore and sit with the travel guides, engrossed, for an hour or so after work. This is also what I did in San Francisco, funny enough. Sat with the travel guides and planned my trip to Europe. In this case, I was reading up on Africa, since VCF will be there next year and I do intend to visit if at all humanly possible.
All in all, a couple of relaxing days, to be followed tomorrow with theater and the next day with cinema.
