LOL<br />You truly NEED to have down time when you even "think" you need it so TAKE IT !! I hate answering the phone and won't 99% of the time .. carry a cell for emergency only .. I have used it twice in all the time I have carried it around with me and once was to ask hubby about a garden hose I found (some emergency eh ? LOL)<br />I am a cat fanatic so this information was great ! Thanks girl .. hope you feel a bit Halloweeny ?

The plants are still growing unbelievably, and flowering, should I wait until they've died to cut them down? and boy do I understand the need for down time.

I am very much this way, to the point where I will schedule "sick time" in order to have the house to myself.

I am with you on the phone thing... I answer for work but outside of that I am not much for the phone. Emails are great- you can answer, ask questions "talk" etc.. and be done. I know that sounds horrible but the way it is. Just no time to sit on the phone and when I have the time, the phone is not where I want to be.... I enjoyed reading your blog- great photos!

It is such fun to go back when you "feel" like talking, listen to the messages and then respond. You bet I need time alone. People that know me want me to have it too. :) I hope yu feel better now. I have had a few hollyhocks. They don't grwo too good for me due to lack of sun in my garden.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-82751238962467355172011-09-27T06:31:33.933-06:002011-09-27T06:31:33.933-06:00I sure do relate to this, Kate.

Maybe that's what's wrong with me today--I could use some quiet time to flush out all the negative thoughts swirling in my brain. <br /><br />Good to see Kitty feeling better; I've never heard of this remedy before. And thanks for the tip on the hollyhocks--mine have been plagued with rust the last two years.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-45993327098685096302011-09-27T06:02:03.222-06:002011-09-27T06:02:03.222-06:00Having some me time is all I need to feel very wel...Having some me time is all I need to feel very well againDianahttp://www.processsensors.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-81778831254420283162011-09-26T21:36:03.601-06:002011-09-26T21:36:03.601-06:00Hi, Jennifer;

Being away from my everyday routine gives me a fresh perspective and I look at things from the more neutral position of being outside "normal". I firmly believe that time alone is an imperative.Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-14175064955172987722011-09-26T20:26:46.371-06:002011-09-26T20:26:46.371-06:00I knew we had something in common and now... 2 thi...I knew we had something in common and now... 2 things!
