Precious
It's a small miracle: I'm sitting in my room with no one else around.
I managed to get home from work today before 5pm, which was another small miracle. As soon as I realized that I was the only one here, that I didn't have any pressing things to attend to, and no one asking me to do things for them, I was excited. It seems so rare to get a moment to myself these days, and it's at times like these that I realize just how much I value my time. I get stressed, anxious and angry when people make demands on my time that I'm not prepared to deal with. I hate when it's assumed that any free time of mine is dead time where I'm "doing nothing". Despite the extrovert that I think I am, I really do treasure moments where I'm alone and free of any pressures. I love being able to sit, unwind, and be allowed to stay silent for a while, but it's more than that. I need it. I covet it.
It's a precious commodity, and I'll treasure as much of it as I'm given.

With time like that, a girl could get on a plane and get over here already. What's your problem? Why are you always just thinking of yourself? Jeeze!
It sure is the hardest thing to find! Go figure that it was quickly replaced with being recruited to build Ikea furniture. Boo.
Deb - I know, so selfish. I should definitely be trading every moment of rebuilding my sanity to hop on a plane to Ireland. : )
Damn straight, it's selfish! I am having serious issues over here!
