Time Alone

[DumpedinKilburn]

My Dp has gone on a trip, it will last from today until Friday evening.

I am off work this week and am tempted to have no contact with anyone-just tell anyone who asks that I'm busy.
I would just like to have these few days, where no-one has any call on my time. I want to draw, watch TV, sleep, eat nice things, sew and not have to watch the clock for anything.
I want to imagine that I've taken off to a gorgeous Dorset cottage for a solitary retreat, even though I'm really in a semi in Birmingham!

Has anyone else just locked down by themselves for a few days and did you feel better for it?

Yes, my DH and adult DS went to New York last summer and I had the most amazing time on my own. I did miss them, but totally relished the time alone.

Enjoy!

Oh yes, solitude can be bliss. I remember seeing an advert for a studio flat in remote part of Wales (but near a railway station). The owners would provide a box of food tailored to your needs, it was really well stocked, and there was a room full of art supplies you were welcome to use. I still fantasise about a solitary weekend there, even though I lost the link years ago. These days I dream of a few hours in the house on my own!

DH took the children camping last year for 3 days , I did miss them but it was nice to have time to myself.

I'm glad others don't think there's anything odd about just wanting to be alone for a few days and it's great to hear everyone enjoyed it!

Do it.

I've just had several days on my own and I never left the house. It was utterly fabulous. I did not miss my family AT ALL.

Due back at work tomorrow and feel much better for the rest.

If I get even 10 mins to myself I make the most of it! Can't imagine days!!
Sounds bliss op!
