Binge Box Set

With her pyjama’s on, and soft slippers on cold feet, Beth was ready to relax. There was a binge box set and a glass of wine with her name on it. Settled on the sofa, with a warm blanket, she had everything she needed.

It was a long week at work, and she needed to relax. Her mobile phone turned off, she wasn’t going to take any calls, not for the next two hours at least. Her therapist said she needed to do things for herself. Binge watching Bones, from the very first episode was a start.

Her husband, took their dogs for a walk in the park, with their son. The washing up was clear, and all she had to do was take after herself. A few hours, responsible for nothing else but peace and quiet.

All she wanted to do was vegetate in front of the telly, now where was that box o chocolates? She picked one and the strawberry flavour made her smile. It was a small thing, but once a week she was going to find some me time.

Because to be there for others, she needed to look after herself too.
