I had that most rare and lovely of experiences this week: my husband left town. For four days.
Four blissful, productive days.
Now, I'm not saying I don't love my husband or that I didn't miss him. But as a work-from-home, childless person, having all that free time with no interruptions, no cleaning, no cooking… it was amazing.
I dubbed it my writer's retreat, and at the outset of it, I decided I was going to write 10k words while he was gone.

**crickets**
Of course, that didn't happen. But what did happen is I wrote when I had words in my head. I read. I watched a couple movies. I slept at weird hours. I took time to get my head in what I was doing.
You know. I retreated.
It was definitely what I needed. He comes home today, and I am soooo ready to see him, but I really enjoyed my time by myself to just be.
What would you do if you had four days to yourself?
