My lifestyle right now means I spend quite a lot of time on my own. I’ve got some office space I’ve been using at my parent’s offices, which is great for increasing my productivity (I try to go there 9-5 everyday like a ‘normal job’ to force myself to work normal hours!), but my office is on a different floor to everyone else, so I spend most of the work day alone. Connor tends to work later than me, so the first couple of hours I get home, I’m on my own, pottering about tidying up, taking blog photos, cooking dinner and getting some washing on. Connor and I spend the rest of the evenings together, and my weekends are currently jam packed with trips to London, catch ups with friends + date days with Connor.
So you’d think that really, I’d be desperate for busy weekends when the time rolls around, after spending most of the week alone, but most of the time, I’m just craving a little alone time. Despite the fact I spend a lot of time alone, I’m always busy. I can’t remember the last time I had time to do something on my own, just for me.
I’m craving a slow wander around the shops in peace. An afternoon in bed with a stack of magazines and no distractions. A long, hot soak in the tub, with a glass of wine and a new book. Basically, I just want some time alone to do nothing at all.
So next weekend I’m making no plans at all. I have class on Saturday, but after that, it’ll just be me and a bubble bath, me and a wonder round the shops, me and a stack of magazines, a pot of tea + my bed, and I can’t wait!
Do you crave alone time?
