I'm not looking for advice or anything of that nature. I just want to express a few things.
Balancing life:
I need to work to live and pay bills obviously, so I have a job. That takes up the vast majority of my time.
I need to be healthy and so I need to work out on a regular basis, which of course, takes up time. To continue along that healthy kick, cooking and preparing food myself is much more value conscious and good for me. Preparation time and clean up, and that takes up time of course. I have friends I want to spend time with, they have birthdays, they have get-togethers, people visit from out of town, so I spend time with them. I have a boyfriend that I also like to spend time with. Then there is the day to day clean up of the apartment, laundry, errands, things we have to do all the time. I like to be creative and create art so I try to figure out ways to fit that in.
Of course that's not all, but those are the main things. Tack on the fact that I desperately want to be back in school and plan to in the fall, god willing, and I feel overwhelmed sometimes. Especially because after work, working out, cleaning up, I really just want to sit and veg for an hour or so.
It gets to the point that once in a while, I wish I didn't have friends so I can cut that out of my "to do" list :o:(
And what if I had a kid?! I don't want to have any kids, but still. I don't know how you people with kids do it! Bravo, etc.
