My weekend begins at 5:01 on Friday’s. That is when my phone shuts down until Monday.
I have two jobs as a Virtual Assistant and one is on the weekends, but I’ve had that job for 7 years. It began as my way of staying home with my daughter and making a living after leaving my marriage. It’s been reliable in that sense, but I had to set boundaries.
My first thought this morning was, “Life is not hard. Life is what we make it.” I woke up tired. It’s been a busy few weeks. It was ever so pleasing to know it’s Friday.
My daughter walks by my room and tells me, “I love your bedroom.”
I catch her standing in the doorway staring at it. Since the redo beginning with Under the Bed, it has the feeling of a retreat. When you work from home, you need a room like that. When I walk into my room, I leave work behind.
I’m sitting in the middle of my bed and here’s what my bedside table reveals.
Two out of three Hydrangea blooms that have been with me all week. A small Voluspa candle, because I couldn’t decide what scent I liked best to buy a big one. A large Voluspa candle is a commitment. My favorite ink pen and a water bottle for the weekend.
Someone asked me what I was doing this weekend and I said, “As little as possible.”
My weekends are sacred.
Amen. A phone won’t overpower self-care!:) And thank you for following:)

Well….I should have elaborated on that and probably will at some point. The company I work for during the week, has their main line forwarded to my phone. My phone rings when someone calls their office, but it stops ringing on Friday’s after 5:00, until Monday morning.
I don’t use my phone for much other than business.
Thank you. You too!
