And when I am at O.K.'s for the weekend (where I only have my mobile phone and no "proper" computer for my own use), that automatically limits time I spend on the Internet. Same is true when he is here with me - I want to spend as much time as possible with him, which means I won't Switch on the computer unless we want to look up something, like opening times of a place we intend to visit.<br /><br />If social media, reading the news etc. stress you, then the best thing you can do is limiting your use of all that media. I very much like the idea of you spending a quiet Sunday with your dogs, planning and cooking a nice Sunday supper for yourself and Gregg when he Comes home from work.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-85320099364795102142017-08-14T01:11:15.994-04:002017-08-14T01:11:15.994-04:00That is an excellent idea.
