Ten Minutes: A belated second entry

Originally written Monday, 4 September.

Well... I obviously haven't had much self-discipline with this exercise. This disappoints me but I'm not giving up yet. Now I see how wise it was for my friend to do a ten-minute challenge with someone else who is expecting to see their work posted on social media every day before 10pm.

My super-relaxed gams.

This weekend, I tried to organise a pseudo-vacation, something as relaxing as possible before I go (back) to full-time work tomorrow. So far it has been good, with tiny pockets of frustration but BIG pockets of surprise delight.


I booked a room at an inn in a small town an hour away from where I live and didn't plan many activities at all. (The idea was to do things that are NOT work.) The room had a soaking tub with whirlpool jets. I couldn't believe how relaxing and utterly delightful it was. I think I grinned for just about the entire 40+ minutes I was in there. Then I used a bathrobe for the first time and sat in it pamperfully, in the minimum amount of clothing, on my plush queen bed for well over an hour (maybe three?) watching cable TV (read: lame content, random gems) and working on a jigsaw puzzle.


In the interest of keeping posts un-daunting, I will save future installments of this tale for tomorrow, and days following.
