Unplugged

Okay, so "unplugging" for a few days was probably much easier for me than for many of you who read this. After all, I'm the one who has (and uses) a cell phone out of necessity rather than a desire to stay connected to everyone. (Staying connected/ accessible to everyone 24-7 would absolutely exhaust me!) Still, I'm actually a bit surprised by how easy it was.

Today is the first day I've actually turned on the computer since Friday. (At least, I THINK I turned it on then.) It's not that I've done this on purpose; it's just that life was happening in the here and now. I simply didn't have a CHANCE to connect electronically.

Not surprisingly, I really didn't mind the "dis-connect". Granted, that meant that I had plenty of emails to sort through this afternoon, as well as plenty of other computer-related tasks to tackle (order gifts, back-up photos, scan the computer, check the Christmas list/ budget), but none of those was too overwhelming or time-consuming. (Of course, I say this as I look at the clock and realize that I really need to get my workout in before Leah wakes up.) Plus, "unplugging" allowed me to accomplish quite a bit over the weekend.

Maybe I should try this a bit more often.
