Not feeling guilty

What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?

Yesterday I went to the movie Odyssey! I gifted myself that three hours of free time. I didn’t ask anyone’s company just me and my large nachos and cheese.

I came home and learnt my special young man took a second serving of dinner 🙂! I had already fed him but my husband fed him again.With me switching off the phone, and engrossed in the movie I didn’t follow up what was happening at home.

I am smiling at myself! Yes, I can unwind myself. I can find an activity that can make me temporarily forget I have a special needs grown adult son, and I can enjoy my life.

Yes, I didn’t feel guilty about my day out nor feeling guilty my son had dinner twice 😀🤷‍♀️!

I have promised myself “no more caregiver’s guilt “ and I stuck to that!

There were two movies that I wanted to see in the big screen released this past week! A Tamil movie, Jananayagan, since the actor became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in a surprise election win and The Odyssey which being Nolan’s film has so much hype attached to it! I chose Odyssey since I did a course on coursera on it! I like Greek Mythology and history. I knew my husband would be the first person to watch the Tamil movie and it would be in my living room TV lot many times.

I am not a movie critic, but I liked the movie. The fact that I didn’t sleep a wink or get bored or look at my phone or think about my home is definitely a positive review for the movie. A lot of people are planning to watch it on IMAX or IMAX 70mm but I did it on a regular screen. So my review is not wholesome.

Anyhow one FOMO item checked off the list this weekend! 😊
