Self care

I had tea at a friend's house. We don't know each other that well but we've known each other for a long time. That length of time makes her dear to me. 

She asked me how I am with self care. I look into her searching face and admit the truth. The truth is I take self care to extremes. They are the results of desperate longings from a stay at home, free-working Moogy. 

I remember her slightly bewildered face as I sit at the breakfast date with myself.
