I don't really consider it isolating unless you spend most days this way. I call it my "Me Time" and since I only get about four hours of it each week, I really appreciate it and make the most out of it. Tonight's the night! Every Sunday night, my husband does his side job and the kids go to bed and I savor every minute of doing absolutely nothing! Or just vegging out in front of the tv. It's is the only time of the week I get to do that.
