Home alone, ahhh

[primsong]

Being one of those people who needs quiet time and (even better) "alone time" to recharge from the demands of life, the universe and everything I am often frustrated by how rarely truly *alone* ever happens.  This is one of those rare days when my DH is out of town and the kids are in school and I don't have to be anywhere at all.  I am almost agog over this mysterious shiny sunlight-through-clouds opening of nothingness and am soaking it up like a dry sponge.

Ahhhh.

Made one of those "chocolate cake in a mug" microwave oblongs of self-indulgent chocolatey chocolateness to celebrate, along with a pot of tea.  Painted a bit, glued a chair that's been in need of gluing for a long time, watered plants... Puttering on small things and not being interrupted is an opulent delight.  I could get used to this.

Are you a "I vant to be aloooone" person, or someone who is recharged by being in the middle of activity?

I'm an extreme introvert. I have to stake out alone time (and my family knows better than to bother me during alone time). I usually spend it reading.

Oh yes, books are a magnificent way to escape, at least mentally if no other way is available.
