day off ni inday


after an extremely hectic week, manuel took pity on me and let me have a few hours of "me" time.  i breastfed raoul so he was good for about 2 hours at least.  i bade the 3 boys goodbye and went off on my own. 

you would think i would spend the time shopping, or pampering myself at a spa.  instead, i went to the library.

of course, i also needed to return some books i borrowed, and get the ones i reserved (more terry pratchett novels!).  but i do love being able to browse at my leisure, without having to attend to someone else's needs.  it was tempting to sip some coffee while reading, at the cafe on the ground floor.  but i had already spent so much time at the reference section (looking for photoshop textbooks) that my time was almost up and i had to go back home.

thus ended inday's day off. hehe.

yes Pat..it's good that you took the liberty of granting yourself the savoured hours of getting books again..that's really good!
don't be like me, I'm always caught up into pressures around (can't leave when washings are at hand..etc etc)..but best is to find ways that you could relax..keep it up!

the reference section man gud is no place for kids coz super quiet kaayo. that's why the only way i can browse there is if the kids are with manuel. sus, happy kaayo ko!
