Becca busy bee

Sometimes I move into the weekends and wonder where the time went. I think back to everything I've done in the week: My job, the house work, cooking, weekly grocery shopping, gardening, paying bills and other administrative duties life seems full of these days, spending time with my partner and time with myself...I often wonder where I find the time to sleep. I'm probably no different to others; life is so much more hectic these days which is surprising considering all the automated things in society these days...Weren't they supposed to make things easier?

With my mother's cancer issues I have had additional appointments to go to with doctors, for scans and to the hospital for her chemotherapy sessions. Add in the at-home things I have to do for her and all of those things mentioned above, and I have little time for much else. But I need more...I need time to slow down.

Since beginning to write a post or two on Hive I have come to feel a sense of enjoyment which, I'll be honest, I didn't expect.

I am not on any other social media and never have been. I'm a private girl, like to select very carefully who I have around me and certainly don't value the drama found on social media. But Hive has been nice; a place to drop a thought here and there, somewhere to think out loud, and here I've been a little more open than I would have thought possible. It's been nice.

Being so time-poor lately I've not been able to open Hive and write or take a look at what the people I follow have been doing and I've missed it. I'm hoping to write a post later in the coming weekend though.

I have a fiction in mind however the subject is a little sensitive and I'm not sure I'm ready to present it to the world; I'm going to start writing and see what happens though. I have some other things to say also and I'm looking forward to making the time this weekend because my partner is away with some friends on some manly adventure or other. I'll miss him, but will make the most of the time I have to myself.

The plan is to cast aside Becca the busy bee and slow down.

I have bubble baths planned, reading, cat-cuddling, music, home-delivered food, movies and shows, a walk in the gardens near home and a lot of sleeping...oh how I love sleeping. I'll try and do some writing although there's no guarantee the thoughts in my head will make it into words in a way I feel happy to present...only time will tell.

I think I deserve this weekend, or so I'm telling myself, and I believe it will do me some good.

Becca 💗
