Self-care

Todd has today off and is not working until tomorrow afternoon. With his encouragment I am at a hotel two seconds away, and for the next 22 hours, I do not have to answer to anyone. No one will demand a thing of me. I’ve got my Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups. I’ve got my Limeaide. I’ve got my O Magazine. I’ve got my iPod with all my meditations.

I’m going to take a long hot uninterrupted unhurried shower. I’m going to snuggle up with Oprah. I’m going to catch my breath.

Fighting the urge to justify it by telling you what I don’t spend money on, that so many women do. But you know what? To hell with that. I’m rocking the hotel and the peanut butter cups. I need it. We can afford it. I’ve already spent too much time on this short paragraph.

See ‘ya later alligators. I’m ’bouts to get all rejuvenated.

    I feel sure you know where I stand on the matter. One might even say I wrote the book on that one!

    Good for you! I had to have physio a short while ago (child induced injury!) and he said I should not expect to have any major improvement in my health until my situation chnaged, which it won’t, and in which case I should be entitled to annual leave the same as any other working person. He equated my parenting our girls to his job from which he has a right to a break and it’s only 8 hours a day. Interesting point of view, don’t you think?
