It’s strange to have free time. I haven’t really had any free time in over a year. I don’t think I’m making good use of my free time, though. Sometimes i find myself wandering from room to room, looking for something that has to be done right at that moment. Every once in a while I’ll find something but most of the time it’s just things that can wait until the time of the day that I will normally get to them. Like the kitchen. I’ll usually clean up the kitchen in the morning and just before I go to bed. So wandering in there in the middle of the day leaves little that needs to be done.

I’m not getting emails from anyone and that’s new. Of course, I have willingly lightened my volunteering load significantly. And the emails I usually get from family have suddenly stopped. Not sure what’s going on there but at least I don’t have an inbox full of forwards to delete.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty that needs doing. I just don’t have to spend every waking moment doing *something.* That’s kind of nice. I’m still continuing with my knitting but doing it when I feel like it instead of trying to find an extra 10 minutes sometime during the day. The kids aren’t feeling well today so I’ve given the oldest the day off from homeschooling.

The downside of being a Capricorn is that I’m starting to feel like I’m not contributing anything to anyone. I know that I am and I know that I’m making a huge difference in my children’t lives by being able to be with them more. Capricorns aren’t happy unless they are occupied by something demanding their attention every second of the day. But I’m learning to get used to the down time. Not having stress is different but refreshing.

I’m also not feeling very introspective, deep or mysterious. My brain is turning to jell-o. Must have something to do with Mars going into retrograde in a few days. Nah, i’m just trying to sound knowledgeable. LOL I really am a simple girl, I just need to get used to a simple life.
