This is a fantastic idea for certain times, when what I need is space to create - but when what I need is time alone, leaving the house guarantees that I won't get it. I'll definitely be giving it a try (and thank you! I didn't think of libraries as a place to set up a workspace), but I've also asked Scott to just take Elizabeth and leave the house at some point this week. Right now what I need is time alone so I can either do things without interruption or get some relaxation in. Maybe get my head straight. As I mentioned to Scott last night, it's starting to feel like I'm in the middle of some kind of experiment to see just how crazy I'll get without any time alone at all, and the results are coming back pretty crazy.
