Making time for myself Considerations ° Minecraft will suck up all my evening time if I let it • I like spending time with At and looking for ways to improve our playing "¥😐¥jɧÉÉÉÉÉÉ%¥É possible types of "me ◦ Morning focused time, if I wake up early → then I get tired & grumpy C C • Morning focused time, if she sleeps in → after chores C D • While waiting for A+ CD • During homework R C D C ° Other interests (reading, code.org, etc) L • The walk to/from a play date → can 1 record things I want to review?

That's okay, that's just the current phase of my life, and there will probably be lots of time for other things later. I get a little twitchy if my TODO list ites up (gotta make sure there are no expectations), or if I want to learn something and I don't have quiet time. I think: what will I do for myself, what can I keep/share of this time? How do I crystallize what I'm learning? I suppose I can get very good at snuggling At and appreciating her, and that will be written into our selves. I have only so much time to learn this, and similarly only so much time playing the same games or being around her friends' grown-ups. so we'll play it by ear!
