I know I have a good life. I have great kids, I manage to earn quite a bit of money doing many various things I love, I have a great husband, and so on….

But for several weeks now, I’ve needed a break. Not an hour after the kids go to bed, so I can watch television with my husband. A break, where I don’t have to time everything down to potty breaks, where I don’t have to dodge all sorts of schedules and get to everything on time.

So today, right after I play at church (another thing I love to do, but one which has been wearing me a bit thin), I am taking off. I can’t say I know what I’ll be doing. I could go to a playwriting workshop, where I don’t have to bring anything with me–they are doing a full-length play this weekend–or I could go shopping for a halloween costume, since I won’t have time to make my own because I’m making everyone else’s–or I might go see a movie. I’m especially needing a movie with period costumes and a lot of people speaking with British accents.

Whatever it is, I hope it helps me recharge. If I’ve had some time to myself, that just makes me all the better when I return to all of my responsibilities. I would just go to a coffee shop and write, but that isn’t possible right now (see my previous blogs on the topic). And, for once, I don’t mind. I just want to relax, without obligations, without a schedule, without any particular goal or task I MUST do.

I’ll let you know how it goes!
