For me it's loud music, and tending to my jungle of plants inside and out with bong hits, house tidying, journaling..

My alone time is important, and without it I tend to get anxious. Since the rest of the country refuses to do what's necessary to get the pandemic remotely under control and the state of things continues to be fucked in the ass lubeless it's been harder to get time to myself. Considering the circumstances I'm pretty happy that we haven't gotten tired of each other being constantly around, but I have been longing for some solitude.

I dunno what it is, but being with lil ol' me is pretty chill sometimes.

What do you do when you're just chillin solo?

What a great thread TnJ!

I need "Me" time. Every day. It's how I recharge from all the goings on during these crazy times. I also live with with 5 other people. Who I adore and love more than anything. But if I don't get time to myself, I suffer. And I think those around me do too, lol.

I spend time by myself in my own private "Kittyland". I go upstairs and put on Roku and watch whatever I want to. Don't have to worry about anyone else's programming tastes.

And I enjoy my quality alone time with my three kitties. The male spends his time on or near me. We have quite a special bond. Constant pets and loving. His two sisters will mosey over for their pets and loving too. They might end up together in a chair next to me grooming each other. It's just so chill.

After a couple hours, I'm good again. Helps me get a good night's sleep.

And if it wasn't obvious, I'm not asking about how you jerk off.. just how you spend time alone :)


Oooh, good catch! I was just about to grab some popcorn and watch the responses fly in, but you spotted the loop hole, so to speak.. :joy:

Shame. Masturbation is sex with someone you love.

Reading
Pottering
Making stuff
Listening to the radio or music
A lot of time spent in the bath
Playing online games and making children cry

I love that.

I just figured there's enough threads like that about, I wanted something a lil different.

Sex with someone you love, that's perfect. :)

Reading, taking a walk, riding my bicycle. Before the pandemic, going for a swim.

NCbear (who could probably think of others, but those activities are tops—involving minimal contact with other people, providing a good amount of quiet time, and focused on recharging this introverted bear <grin>)

Bit tangential, but then I'm stoned... 15 years ago I was a caseworker on a housing project in London. One of the people I was familiar with was a working girl called Annie. I say "girl" but she was easily in her 40s but looked older, worn. Annie was always sunny and chatty as she breezed in and out of the office, usually nicking the toiletries as she did. I had a soft spot for Annie.

Anyway. One Friday afternoon, 4:30pm, getting ready to go home and Annie flies in with papers saying she'd gone back to her flat and the place was boarded up and the letters were saying that she'd been evicted. I was like, Annie! Evictions don't just happen over night! You could have come to me months ago!

But we had to do something, so I contacted the hostel for sex workers to see if they had an emergency bed. They did. I had to complete a referral form. At 5pm this 15 page referral form starts falling out of the fax machine and, I shit you not, the very first question was "How do you spend your days?"

I ask Annie the question.

"A whorin' and a scorin'!" she says with a flourish.

I can't put that down, says I.

"Ok," she fires back, "Listening to music, reading and taking walks in the countryside."

You're not taking this seriously!! says I...

:D

Hmmm. So I should’ve said I spend my “me” time “a-whorin’ and a-scorin’”??

NCbear (who knows I should be offended—but who’s actually rather amused)

My “me” time is hard to carve out, especially M-F. So, I make a concerted effort on the weekends to get some “me” time.

On the weekends, I get up early before everyone else, get myself a cup coffee, sit in my La-Z-Boy recliner, and turn on the TV. Everything is so still and quiet during that time...it does me a world of good.

Going for a stroll in the neighborhood or the beach, with the pup is the quickest way to get some me time.

otherwise, hiking or biking. Mother Nature always recharges my batteries. :)

Using this strange time to catch up on some needed rest - seems like a vacation that I have not had in MANT years - not the way I
wanted - also lots of yard work - reading - keeping house in comfortable, living condition - gym and relaxing with buds on LPSG.

Music! I have a small home recording studio that allows me to be creative. Finally trying to get serious playing slide... Longing for the day to play live again... Then there's mt biking and some home improvements... All of this has been accompanied with a bit of 420 has really relaxed my brain given the situation we are all in.

Since this whole thing started, I’ve had a lot of ‘me time’. Fine with me, though. I tend to hermit-like proclivity. Give me a diet soda, a good book to read, or a gripping documentary and I’m happy as can be. I also like to putter. Tend to this and that, do a little baking. Just putter with some good tunes.

Reading and listening to music on the louder side are the main ones. If is a short bit o time available, may just be enjoying some really good tea.
