I'm staying at the house of some friends while I'm in class these two weeks, and the house must be lined with lead or something, because I get no cell reception (even outside, sometimes) and the internet doesn't work everywhere, like in the living room. Well, it's temperamental and moody.
It's kind of a beautiful thing. Sure, I wasn't able to get online last night and write this entry, but I also can't get any phone calls and spend less time online. Fabulous. Maybe I should climb on my roof at home with a roll of tinfoil.
I'm reading! A lot! Well, I'm also watching a lot of Angel, but that's really okay since I'm getting other things done, too. Not that my phone rings much at home, but it does from time to time. I get e-mails or facebook postings from people asking me to do things, and I should do laundry or clean the house or something. Here? It isn't messy, there's plenty of room to put the things away that need to be put away, and I can't do anything with anyone. It's gorgeous.
Perhaps I need to learn to block out my time better when I'm working on class. The only problem with that is that I'm almost always working on class, and I do have a life, relationships, and ministry to consider. But maybe I should block of certain days- maybe 2 per week, at least- where I never make plans and I don't answer the phone. I also won't feel guilty about housework. This is something to think about.

I've been thinking along these lines, as well. Once husb gets home, perhaps we can work out an evening schedule so that I can have some quiet/"me" time to study/read/unwind.
