OMG YES. This week I spent about three hours on Tuesday afternoon writing a design doc, and it was a mildly crazy thing to do because I was on vacation that day, but it felt great. Great to write, great to have written it. And you know, that luxury of being able to do it in one big sweep was exactly the sort of thing I most value in an unstructured "for me" sort of day.
I think from now on I might actually try to get this luxury a bit more, now that it's been identified. Starting and finishing a task on the same day. Delicious. Yes. And, oh, some more luxuries... sleeping until I wake up on my own. Living with an ocicat. Having two lovers. Taking as long as I feel like at the gym. Mochas with coconut milk, from Starbucks. Re-reading favorite books.
