| Week 58 / Prompt 7 - We are so good at looking after others that we often neglect ourselves. This week set aside one hour just for you. What did you do during this hour? How did it make you feel? Are you ready to incorporate something like this into your daily or weekly routine? Why or why not? I did, actually, set an hour aside (really, a few hours) just for me this week. I needed a night alone, just me, my cats, my couch, my knitting, and Downton Abbey. This season's Downton Abbey episodes had just been released through the end of the season, and I was dying to see it through. And although I can watch the show in jumps and spurts, I really prefer it in marathon mode, where I can watch episode after episode, and catch every little connecting nuance between each. So I poured myself a glass of baileys, pulled out the scarf I am knitting that doesn't require much thought, and cuddled on my couch under a quilt and two cats. I then proceeded to enjoy four or five episodes of Downton Abbey. It was probably one episode too much for that one night, as I got to bed later than I would have preferred, but with only one episode left by my bedtime, there was no way I was stopping without having watched it. And that last episode was the absolute perfect end to the season. I cried and I laughed, giggled with glee, and squee'd (technical term) about so many events in the last episode. Downton Abbey is one of my simple pleasures, and one I cannot share with Collin. He isn't interested in it in the slightest, and that is just fine. He loves anime, which I only have a cursory enjoyment of. We share plenty of other things together, but this show is one of those that is purely my own, and one I can curl up to and watch by myself and get full enjoyment out of on my own. And sometimes - we need that night to ourselves to do things just for us. |
