Simple Things

I really enjoy being at home. I fully admit to being a homebody, while C is usually ready and willing to socialise and go out most every night of the week. We do a lot more home-based activities, as you may well guess.

But last night, we both had good evenings. I know C did, because I asked him and he animatedly told me about the gig he went to, the things he bought in London, how the band were on stage, etc. I was really glad that he had had a great night out.

I, obviously, was at home. And it was marvelous. I enjoyed my few hours home alone to watch my favourite TV show, work-out with Jillian Michaels and just be. I took the time to really relax, while doing a few things that I enjoy.

Those few hours of alone time and solitude were lovely. And I really relished the fact that when I am not working around someone else's schedule or priorities, I do not feel rushed or delayed in accomplishing the things I need to while enjoying my day.

It was enough to make me think. And to quell that visceral urge I have been having to call in sick, snuggle in bed an extra hour and then craft the rest of the day.

My few hours have given me more patience and appreciation in this small apartment. Maybe next time I'll come up with the solution to our space dilemma.

It really is the simple pleasures in life that are greatest. I should try to remind myself more often. It's easy to forget.

Good Evening.

I think I need to do a bit of planning for these posts. Right now, I am totally 'winging' it. Almost afraid I wouldn't be able to post today, we went to a gig in London. Clutch would have been totally worth missing a day of NaBloPoMo for, since they are one of the best bands. Very loud and quite catchy, if I do say so.
