So my partner has been off sick for the last month and driving me absolutely nuts being in the house all day. He's lovely and helpful but it's made me realise that I definitely need alone time or else I'll go utterly batshit insane.
In an ideal world I would like to pick a couple of hours a week and just sit in the library and enjoy some silence but I know that unless I have something 'structured' I just won't do it because things will come up, priorities will change and I will feel guilty taking me time without a commitment if you know what I mean? Like if I were doing a class or something I could say 'sorry can't stay even though the child is throwing food all over the place I have to be at X for 7pm!!'. If it's something without any sort of structure I just won't go/will always be late.
I know people will suggest the gym but we can't really afford a gym membership for me at the moment I'm afraid. So I'm keen to hear what you guys all do to get a little silence in your week?
