Home Alone Part 1

So here I am.  Home alone.  Blissfully alone.

The man is on vacation for the next week, and I have left a cook out with some of the college buddies early so I can come home and be totally alone.  I have been extra careful to schedule bare minimum activities this weekend so I can have my extra alone time.

I am one of those people who don't only crave alone time, I need it to survive.  Lately, I have been so busy (and happily so) that I haven't had a really good alone time kind of weekend.  I plan on taking full advantage in the next couple of days.  I find it helps me to decompress, and reconnect with myself.  Cherry cobbler for dinner?  Great!  Read a book on meditation?  Done.  Sleep until 10am?  Of course.  Run at noon, certainly.  There is no one here to judge, and there is no one to be on a wavelength with (not that I mind, but sometimes I need to do my own thing). 

I also find that having some alone time helps me to work out a few things in my head.  I decided today what my next financial step is going to be (more money in the peace of mind account).  I have my next goals set and I have plans to accomplish them.  I don't know why, but I do better when I have the time alone to contemplate these things.

What do you do when you are alone?
