I have developed this little routine with myself on Sunday afternoons. For the last few weeks I have taken the afternoon to wash laundry, clean the bathroom, and clean the kitchen. My first reaction was unexpected. I questioned my throne of domesticity telling myself I needed to get a job and a hobby. I told myself and several others I would not be procreating for at least another decade. This was quite shocking, as I always found refuge in scrubbing the shower deep in thought. Today, just as I have done for the last few weeks I started the laundry, cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen before starting on my small list of errands. Surprisingly I found solace in the routine I developed for myself. I was comforted to know I would have a purpose for the afternoon and be alone to think and sing and dance.
One of my errands was to use part of my birthday gift card to Borders. I know, you're thinking how did I resist spending my Borders gift card for eight months? Honestly I stuck it in my wallet and became swallowed by my Fair Trade coffee punch card. I found it a few weeks ago and decided to treat myself to a novel. My pick was the infamous English story Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.
I cannot wait to delve into it!
i hope you spend your gift cards on you.
