If you need me today, I’ll be in this chair: legs thrown over the side, disheveled, peaceful. Reading, sipping tea, staring out open windows. Living life with the timer off. Collecting quotes, not thinking, blissfully unaware. Ruffling doggie ears, painting my toe nails, napping. Tomorrow, I’ll be back. Ready to jump into the fray. But that is in the future and today, today, is about the now.
A great place for solitude.

Thank you to the lovely Vickie Lester, for reminding me that I do not need permission or justification for taking some alone time.

Sounds wonderful to me, maedez. I am finally sitting at my desk and it is quiet. My toenails need painting, though.

I am definitely enjoying the silence, although I will be happy when The Chef walks in the door. Having him back home is still a novelty.
You should indulge and give yourself a pedicure.

Thanks! Mid-century modern. Found it for a great price at a vintage shop. We were in the bar next door, had a few drinks, and decided to go shopping! Haha, it could have ended badly; fortunately, I ended up with this awesome chair! 🙂
