It's not really indulgent to take some time for yourself. Maybe your also missing the right book to get you interested. What kind of story are you interested in?

    When i was younger (before kids) i read a lot - mostly Stephen King and classics and it's still what i really like. 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.
