There are too much going on these days: personal, work, wedding planning, plus lots of obigations to non-profits organizations that I am involved in. There’s something going on in the next upcoming three weekends. I wonder how those organizations all pick September to hold large events. But, while all organizations need me to do something for them, all I wanted to do was to paint, and to create something in the kitchen, or to get away doing something I’ve never done before, like go on a fishing trip!
I must be approaching some sort of temporary burn-out from being enthusiastic.
Last night, I turned off those screaming alarms in my mind for a few hours, and selfishly spent some tranquil time in the kitchen to make my family dinner. It was a “I don’t care, just let me do what I want to do first” action.
I made a very simple and healthy bowtie pasta dish, plus made-from-scratch splitpea soup. Both of which turned out delicious, and I earned lots of praises from my family. Yay!
That was good.
Ok, now that my personal needs are somewhat fulfilled, I can pick up tedious work for non-profits again, I think.
Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by the vast array of after work activities I can choose from. Twenty-four hours a day never seem enough.
On any given evening, I have the choice of 1. work on a painting. 2. clean the house. 3. go to the gym. 4. read a book. 5. write something on my blog. 6. watch my Netflex DVD. 7. spend quality time with my dog. 8. sing. 9. surf the net. 10. catch up with friends via phone, or meet in person (which I do less and less these days). 11. attend a performance.
I already have a painting class to attend on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I have a public hearing every other Wednesday evening. My weekends are most likely spent with John. That makes a very happy, full life.
I love how I am never bored. No really! I love it!
