❝ Most of the time, I like being busy. If there’s too much to do, it can feel a little overwhelming. But there’s a busyness sweet spot, where you have just the right amount of time to carry out a certain amount of tasks.
Just before Christmas, myself and Herself celebrated our wedding anniversary. Except that it wasn’t — the anniversary was six months previously. But at that time, I’d fallen through some decking and wrecked my leg. And it turned out that me being able to walk properly was an unexpectedly crucial factor in the enjoyability of the night.
It seems terribly wanton to pay for a hotel that’s only a half-hour away from our house: which is part of the point. It’s also the internationalism of such places. When we were inside it, it felt a little like we’d travelled to another country: which in turn had an effect on our perception of time. We were only away for a night, but, in a good way, it felt much longer. And only afterwards did we think that marking our anniversary six months late had no effect on our enjoyment of it.
Now I don’t think that this is because I have an abiding horror of being alone with my own thoughts. I quite like my own thoughts. Nor am I a particularly anxious person. But after a lifetime of it, I have become addicted to busyness. ; and an ingrained sense of what speed certain parts of the day are supposed to move at, largely based on what things will need doing. When that is upset, it feels wrong.
