Just got a book for my birthday and read the first 100 pages aloud in the car because my husband and son wanted to hear it. Now it's been on my coffee table for two weeks and I'm struggling to pick it back up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) It's not really indulgent to take some time for yourself.

Kids are grown, but i have a hard time saying, "I'm going to sit here for an hour and read." There's always something to do...bills, husband, animals, house, yard, etc. and when i veg I mostly turn to mindlessly browsing my phone because it's 2 minute chunks that you can put down anytime. After 15 years of working at the same job i just found out that my lunch break is 60 minutes instead of 30 - maybe I'll bring a book and try to use that time to read. permalink fedilink source parent
