We've gotten slammed with motions at work. I've been burning the candle at both ends trying to get everything under control. Something always gets shortchanged: sleep, relaxation, work, my personal life, exercise, etc. Fortunately (depending on how you look at it), I'm still prohibited from working out for one more week so as to let my stitches heal. So I'm juggling one fewer ball than I usually am.
Even so, I have to wonder: how do people manage working full-speed ahead all the time? As it is, I only sleep six to seven hours per night. Even on the weekends. And it's not like I have any major domestic responsibilities: the Mister is not only self-sufficient, but he's something of a lone wolf. If I don't make it home for dinner for a couple of days, he doesn't just understand, but relishes a little extra free time. I cannot fathom how people manage not only to work 'round the clock but to keep a tidy house and to raise a family.
Then again, ten years ago, I couldn't have imagined the obligations I'd be handling at 31. Maybe if the changes come gradually, we find a way to budget our time better. Here's hoping.
