Thank God it’s Monday
Forget about TGIF. After a series of exhausting week-ends, I am happy when Monday morning rolls around and I can relax a little bit. These days, my work day starts at
This past week-end was a particularly crazy one with two soccer games, a soccer photo session, a Cub Scouts outing for Gab, his birthday sleepover with a handful of friends and a Sunday wedding where EJ was the chef and I was just a guest. I loved every part of those two days, but there was never any down time. The schedule involved a lot of driving around and being constantly social and chatty. While I am usually very social and happy to meet new people and hang out with old friends, I also need some quiet time. I need silence, I need time alone without interruptions.
As a matter of fact, I don’t know how I would do in an office environment such as a noisy newsroom. There are freelance reporters who miss that interaction and do not do well alone in their home offices. I am not one of them. This quiet home office environment, which is obviously mixed with phone interviews, meetings and conferences, suits me just fine.
My wonderful husband brought me the Sunday edition of the New York Times yesterday, something he knows I would love. Now I just have to carve out little niches of quiet time to read it, all week long. Heaven…
