My house is filled with Silence. No music, no TV, no children's voices, no traffic outside - just silence. Well, I can hear the hum of my computer; the tick, tick of my fingers on the keyboard, the birds singing and chirping in the amazing winter sunshine today (temperature around 16 degrees - how about a Brisbane winter) and Silence!
It feels like forever, since I was at home alone, with no urgent assignment due, no cases to pack and organise for a trip (yes, I know that is such a hardship) and most of the housework completed. I have the two loads of washing on the line, the dishes washed, the groceries packed away, the cleaning from 2 days ago still looks good and I am home alone - Yippee!!!!!!
There are many things that I could and perhaps should do today, but I think that I am going to indulge in some serious ME time. I am going to relax and finish 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison (it is one of my text books); I am going to skim through my new text book: "How to read a poem and fall in love with poetry." I think that I will indulge in a tasty cheese and salad sandwich on fresh whole grain bread with a big glass of Lime Juice with ice and just refresh my brain. And I think that I will do most of this out in the beautiful Brisbane Sunshine.
Today is going to be about battery recharging!

Ooh, I think that you are Nurturing the Inner Goddess! YAY! What a fabulous way to spend a Friday!
Wow, how very special for you Beverly, sounds absolutely divine! I see that you too bought your books and are getting an early start on the reading, I have to books and am hoping to tackle them once this move is nothing but a memory!
Enjoy!
Thank you both for your comments, and yes I did indulge. Finished Beloved and now have to read King Lear - not sure about this one!
