My weekend holiday!

I started by telling all of my friends and family in the middle of last week that I would be unavailable for the weekend. Not because I was leaving town, or even busy, but quite the contrary.

I’ve been sick for weeks, and exhausted everyday. With the busy-ness of my life, I just didn’t really have any time to myself. So, I decided enough was enough.

This is how it went down:

Friday:

Starting at 4:30 PM I shut my phone’s ringer off. I signed off of my chat programs and facebook chat. I began to relax almost immediately knowing that I was in a cave for the weekend. I felt tired, so I had a nap. I awoke a couple hours later, already enjoying what I’d created for myself. I made a small dinner, and spent a few hours just having a nice, quiet time.

Saturday:

I slept in till 9 or so… thanks to having to be up so early every day. UGH. I got up, mulled around a bit, then had to have a nap. Slept a couple hours, got up, watched a show on television, went back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later. Did laundry, cause I pledged hell or high water, I’d do some housework too. Hung my bathroom mirror, cause for some reason, this place didn’t have one. Even though I’d bought the mirror nearly two months ago, I’d not hung it yet. Make a small dinner, and chilled for a couple hours.

Sunday:

I slept in again, till just after nine, then I watched a movie. It was pure awesome. Went for a nap, slept three and a half hours!!! Woke up, started housework. Got my kitchen done and my table finally presentable. I’ve lived here nearly three months, and never made my table into a table. I’m not particularly a sit-at-the-table and eat person, because I’m just me, and I feel like a stooge just sitting there alone. LOL. Moved some of those boxes, that were actually empty, into the spare room. Made a nice dinner, watched some television, and relaxed for the rest of the night.

Summary:

It was something that I really needed. The fact that I could really just be with me, and just not have something distracting me all the time. I’ve been sooooo busy that I just didn’t think to take care of myself. I feel better. Still not 100% but I’d say 50%. But that’s better than the 10% I felt at the beginning of last week.

Diagnosis:

Must do this once a month. At least.

Addendum:

I wasn’t disturbed by anyone the whole weekend with the exception of my mother. I’m proud that those who love me really did follow my notification and leave me alone. It was completely refreshing and so amazing. Everyone must do it.
