For the first time since March, I actually had some time just to myself. I had no work I “had” to do. I had no plans with friends. I had no husband. No kid. It was just me and whatever I wanted to do. I had plans to work on a few websites and start some proposals, work on a game/guide review, go to church, and clean. Only the cleaning part got done.
Instead of being productive, I completely goofed off. I got a massage. I got my nails done. I went shopping. The only gaming I did was in pursuit of platinum trophy in LEGO Harry Potter. Let me tell you what friends; my weekend of getting nothing done was the best thing I could have done for myself.
I did clean the house a little bit on Sunday, because otherwise I would have felt ungodly guilty. I also wrote my weekly column for Gaming Angels, but it was an article about being a gadget junkie so it’s not like it took too much effort.
I really needed this weekend for several reasons. As a super-introvert, not having any dedicated me time has most likely affected my stress levels. Granted, they would be high no matter what, but I know it hasn’t helped anything. A lot can possibly and most likely will change for me over the next couple of weeks. It’s nice to have some down time before the stress gets really bad, as that will most definitely happen, whether the worst-case scenario occurs or not.
I know I just came back from E3, but San Diego Comic-Con can’t come soon enough.
