Today I kind of lucked out.
L was supposed to have her piano lesson (every Wednesday, for one hour). Her teacher got sick and cancelled all of his lessons.
So instead of going to pick her up, I ended up coming home at 3:15pm. To an entirely empty and quiet house.
I poured myself a glass of rosé.
I made zucchini: the food that only I like.
I also made sausage: the food that everyone likes.
The kids are in aftercare. My husband is at work. And I am here.
Not entirely quiet since I have “Your favorite Coffee House” Spotify playlist on the background.
I am also shopping for warm sweaters for my son. Preferably Christmas ones.
I wanted to get the kids from after care in about an hour but T beat me to it!
It was nice to have this “break” in my day. About two hours to myself. I had grand plans to exercise. But I didn’t. What I did do is shop for Christmas sweater(s), and cook.
I told myself that I will not self-flagellate but rather, I’d enjoy this time. And I did!
What would you do with two hours alone in the house?
This month I am participating in #NaBloPoMo2025. A running list of participants can be found on San’s NaBloPoMo page as well as more information about this lovely initiative on this NaBloPoMo page.
On the front: “nails” that my daughter created lol
