When was the last time you took time out for yourself and no one else? And what did you spend it doing?

Every night (almost every) I spend an hour or two reading before falling asleep. I am able to lose myself in whatever it is on the printed page or kindle. Good way to unwind and some of it I remember.

No problem for me, I garden or walk in the woods, read, binge watch Netflix or Amazon series when I find some I like. Jim is very social and has lots of buddy activities to keep busy with, I encourage him to do all the fishing and hunting he wants. I am more of a loner, so I enjoy being on my own with no schedule. We have never felt like we have to be joined at the hip and be together all day. Our personalities are very different, but we complement and appreciate each other. 49 years in December. Extended family lives far away, and son is on his own, so no one else around to be responsible for or to, I love retirement!

In all honesty it has been a while. I did do some Christmas shopping yesterday as an escape but I really hate shopping so not sure that counts. Normally I go to my garden. Once I am sure I can leave Hubs for an extended period, there is an arboretum nearest us that I love to hike. I will be lost in the trees (on a path)!

Our annual family camping trip was the last ten days. I only went for four of them. So after work all week this week I've been coming home to a decadently quiet home and doing whatever I want. One night I bought ramen from an amazing takeout restaurant, one night I picked up an ahi tuna poke bowl that was to die for, twice I made myself dinner from the garden. All week long I watched things I wanted to watch- the latest Dr. Strange movie, several episodes of TV shows that I enjoy, etc. It's been a really, really nice and rejuvenating week for me. The family got home this evening while I was at work, so all is no longer all quiet. It's nice to have them back, but I sure enjoyed my week of solitude.
