30 minutes

This one book I read over the summer recommended that every day, no matter what, you take 30 minutes to  yourself. I initially planned on taking my 30 minutes as my walk with the dog, but that posed two problems: 1) Our walks are never 30 minutes (we can't afford that long of a walk during our short evenings), and 2) The girls - at least Bella - always want to come along and I don't have the heart to say no. So I haven't quite figured out when to give myself my 30 minutes, unless my drive to and from work counts. Although something tells me that commuting time is not necessarily what the author had in mind.
