Coffeespoons reading journal

Work never ends

Still reading one of the Berkley XO DRCs. Thankfully getting into the swing of it, so it’ll hopefully be enjoyable reading this weekend. And I am looking forward to a free Saturday tomorrow, barring a couple of errands. I feel like I was spoiled by all my leaves late last year. I keep wondering why I don’t have multiple days in a week where I just lie down and read.

I stepped away from my laptop a minute before midnight earlier, thinking I could finally sink into the book. But no, there were digital and physical errands to do. If it’s not my full-time job, it’s managing the household. Or one of those projects to I always get myself into. (Am honestly trying to do less of those.) But there’s always something.

That said, across the years, I think I’ve gotten better at giving myself permission to rest. A voice in the back of my mind still censures me when I do it, but I’ve gotten better at ignoring it.

Why must there always be something though?

Anyway, NOW I can enjoy my book.
