My brain was full of excitement during my Friday lunch break.

Lunchtime on the last day of the work week.
I spent it thinking about something in particular.

My husband is away on a business trip and staying overnight.

When that happens, do you know what that means?

I can slack off on housework.
I can immerse myself in note.
I can secure some alone time for myself.

For me, that is quite a reward.

Because it means I get some free time
where I don't have to be chased
by the housework that usually keeps me busy.✨

During my lunch break on a day like that,
my brain was full of thoughts about what I should do to enjoy myself
once I finished work.

Thanks to my cheerful mood,
I even feel like my cold symptoms are easing up.
(Was this sore throat just stress? Haha)

At my workplace, many people spend their lunch breaks
doing their own thing,
so I eat my lunch at my desk
and spend a little time by myself.
(Chatting is fun too, though,
but I get tired afterward. 🥲 Haha)

If I can just get through the next five hours, I'll have free time.

When I thought about that,
my brain filled with excitement,
and it was shining so brightly.

I want to be with someone, but
I also want time to myself.

I wondered if that was selfish,
but it seems that wasn't the case.

*Maico-san, I borrowed your article.

Reading Maico-san's article,
I realized I'm not the only one.
It's important to know how to deal with it.
I felt encouraged.✨

I finished my work feeling like I hadn't done my best,
but I justified it to myself by saying,
"All of this is because I caught a cold
and wasn't feeling well,"
and closed my laptop right at quitting time.

With my husband's business trip confirmed,
I was mentally rehearsing the things I could and wanted to do
precisely because I would be alone (I knew exactly what I was doing).

The alone time granted to me
might seem plentiful,
but I have already experienced many times
that when you actually open the lid,
it ends in the blink of an eye.

Why is it that pleasant times
are so fleeting?


In the end, I suspect my alone time will come to an end
without me being able to do everything I wanted to do,

but since it's an opportunity I haven't had much lately,
I will fully enjoy this precious time!✨
(A mysterious declaration)

What will I do with my approximately two days of freedom?

If I am able to spend it in good health,
I will report back in my post at the start of next week🍀

※My excitement for this alone time
is overflowing, but
it is not that I dislike my husband.
And I am not being forced
to be perfect at housework either,
so please don't misunderstand...※

To everyone working on weekdays,
thank you so much for your hard work!

To everyone working on the weekend,
thank you so much for supporting the lives of so many people😌

I hope everyone
remembers to be kind to themselves
as you go about your days.
