time off

I am terrible at taking time off ... and yet I need it.

After five days of constantly being on, instead of taking the last three days to finish my paper, I took the time off.

But not really... I didn't write, but I didn't go out either.

I rarely left the house.

I relished the quiet moments, when I could get them.

I ate whatever I felt like.

I did not exercise.

I cried some.

I slept a lot.

I played on the computer a little too much.

I probably could have used the time differently -- and others might not see this as time off... but besides having all day in the pjs, this is the best quiet time for me.
