Taking a day off

Last three months have been different, chaotic, with ups and downs and busy.... Super busy... It's like everything wants a piece of me, and I happily give away, but nothing remains for me. I miss reading those books, neatly lined up in my hall, long bought with great enthusiasm, but still brand new, some to such an extent that maybe I haven't even flipped a page.

The list of to do's just keeps getting longer and longer, so much that the sticky note no longer fits into my laptop screen, and has a scroll bar now. Hehe... In the whole day office wants me, the project wants me, the house needs my attention, and so does the laundry bag and the kitchen sink full to the brim with last nights dishes. God! I sound like a housewife!!!!

And yes, then there are people to attend to, yes, living on earth requires you to be a social animal. You have to pick up those calls and listen and share how miserable our lives are and feel exasperated that the cribbing session took away another precious 40 minutes of your time and now you probably have to make up for it from the time you allotted for yourself. It's more like telling yourself, 'No book tonight!' like you often see in the movies where the wife reprimands her husband saying 'No sex tonight!'.. Hehe.. All this and I look back and all I can do is laugh... Yes, am sure anyone reading this will assume that I was doing all this grudgingly, that I don't like it, whereas that's not the case.

We Capricorns are crafted this way. We love the routine, and we set it ourselves, but we love adventure too. We love being independent. We love being left to ourselves. We love to do things the way we want, and when there are factors that mess with our routine, we go crazy. I really feel guilty at times when my boyfriend gets caught up in this crazy whirlwind. But, guess he has a lot to learn. It's a simple trigger, we allot some time to ourselves, and we just want that time and schedule is so well planned that one thing goes amiss and everything falls down and then starts the struggle to get everything back on track and it just goes on... And in all this, where am I? I am still there, with my to do things taking a backseat everyday.

So here I am today, taking a day off, and so far it's a great start. Woke up to my own time, feasted on my favorite breakfast, pampered myself with all the body oils and nice smelling moisturizers, and listening to some good music, writing one of my longest post in quite some time. And am happy. After a long time, though I might have to face an angry boyfriend for just shutting down my phone, ignoring him, but am sure, once am back, I'll make up for it... I already feel better...
