Enjoying a quiet moment.
After the kids go to sleep, after any pressing chores are done, and before I turn in for the night, there’s a moment of calm and silence. Just like right now.
I just like to sit in my chair, catch up on my Twitter and Facebook, and start decompress. Muscles, shoulders, arms, legs just unclench and my body melts into the seat. The house is very, very still now. All I can hear is the hard drive on this Mac softly spinning…
whirrrrr…
Once the runaway train of thought slows and pulls into the station, some of the issues I normally press into the edges start to move into the forefront. Did I take of this? When’s that due? Did the power bill get paid? It’s not on the bills magnet so Wifey must have taken care of it. Did I put away the food? What about the laundry… Being a worrywart is probably in my genetics.
whirrrr….
I like Twitter because it serves well as “background” noise for my sessions on the computer. There’s a rhythm and a variety to the Growl notifications that pop up. Sometimes a tweet catches my attention and draws me in, but normally it’s all there just to make web-browsing a little less sterile. There are occasions, however, when I want to turn off the noise and get back to a still pond. Just like right now.
whirrrr…..
I’m ready for bed.
