I can’t be the only one who wants to crawl under the covers some days.
In this day and age, it’s so hard to just relax. But it’s more than taking some me-time, it’s completely tuning out the rest of the world and letting our personal internal battery recharge.
We’ve become a technology based world, and most of the time I am a total techno-junkie. I love gadgets, and want all the latest ones–even if it does the same thing one of my other gadgets does. Whether it’s an iPod or an iPad, a kindle or my cell phone, there’s usually something close by that has me plugged into the internet or I’m using my toys to work or play.
Until I have one of those days– like yesterday –where I want to shut the door to the rest of the world and reflect internally. I don’t want to talk on the phone, and I don’t want to play games. I do want to read…or maybe watch an old movie with my feet kicked up and a big bowl of popcorn.
But I read books on my e-reader and use streaming Netflix to watch movies.
So, I guess even on the days that I want to recharge my batteries I can’t pull the plug.
I think it gets harder to pull the plug, too, Connie. One good thing about my iPad, though, is that I *didn’t* get the data plan – so when I’m ‘out’ the interwebz isn’t constantly pinging me with email updates and stuff. It’s almost relaxing…until I start writing, anyway.
Kristi, You’re so smart. I try to avoid the internet when I’m writing, but it such a temptation when I want to research a fact quick.
It’s why I’m resisting getting a Kindle and why I don’t know my iTouch or Droid well…I don’t want more distractions.
