Me Time

Last week I was in Vienna Mon-Thurs and the same will be the case this week. After several city-based days, most of which I also have evening plans on, I am longing for some downtime in the country house. Due to Highflyer's job, I am sometimes on my own for all or the greater part of my (long) weekends and much as I cherish his company, I never get bored or lonely when I'm alone there and really enjoy quiet, uneventful me time in the burbs. Time for kitchen experiments and DIY projects, no social obligations, hence no need to put on makeup. Bliss! Some people (my mother included) find it selfish to not want children and while I used to argue against that in the past, being able to enjoy several totally selfish days on end makes me see their point. Guilty as charged and very happy with my own company.
