Relationships

Funny how relationships work.
You assume that people who are close to you and watch you struggle to have the strength to do your job as best as you can, know how tiresome it can be, how time consuming it is, how you wish you had time to do all the other things you want in your life. How you wish you could just go out for drinks without worrying that someone might call you with an emergency. How you want to participate in things but can barely move your body or formulate a thought because you used all you strength during working hours even when you thought you had none left. You'd think they'd understand especially when they've been right there next to you watching all this happen.
Well, reality check: they might say they do, but they don't. They still get pissed off if you say you can't go out because you need some sleep or that you don't want to go shopping on your only day off in months because you want peace and quiet. They will ALWAYS take it too personally, because it IS personal to them.
How selfish am I if I finally have a day off and want it for ME, not to hear about people's complaints, not to go to IKEA, not to have people around and have to smile when I don't want to anymore, not to hear about other people's pets for a while, just for me???
Don't get me wrong, I am very social and I love animals but sometimes, just sometimes, I want ME time! And if I decide to spend that time sleeping or watching TV or not doing anything, is that so wrong???

This is what happens:
