So I relax, sometimes sleep, often read if I&#8217;ve had the foresight to bring a book with me.<\/p>\n<p>My husband sometimes takes her on a walk so I have time to myself. This is delightful :). And the time often follows my usual pattern: mad cleaning followed by indulgence (reading, netflix, spider solitaire my addiction).<\/p>\n<p>One day this weekend when he took her I breathed, prayed, and read some of the latest issue of Baha&#8217;i Canada. Nice!<\/p>\n<p>I want to use my time in a balanced way. Life isn&#8217;t all about getting things done. But sometimes it feels like it is. And I am happier when they&#8217;re done.

Husband bought a WII today so we have netflix on the tv without needing my computer. i predict more settling into my writing area now. Also: just reconnected with two profs in education and floated my writing problem by each: 7000 word paper, MUST get myself to finish and submit for publication &#8230; help?! One more project for my me time.<\/p>\n<p>Good night! Happy sleeps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(argh &#8230; opening erased &#8230; I am TIRED and will not rewrite it.
