Sunny Day

We had a hot day today. Mainly sunny with a nice breeze which kept the bugs away. It wasn't a busy day but it was productive. Especially once hubby and the kid went to work :-D 

I've really noticed that I need a "day off" during the week. That rarely means no housework or errands get done, but it does mean I take some time to do the things I want to do, reading, playing a video game or puttering in the garden. That time gives me a chance to mentally recharge. Some of the "self-care" that mental health workers promote. Because it is true, you need to take care of yourself before you can take care of anything else.
