Farewell, Free Time, I Ne'er Knew Ye.

...and then a project came up at Job #1 that bids fair to swallow all my time for the next two months or so. Six-day work weeks, at least once I factor in the one day a week commitment to Job #2. Add in that I really, really need to commit a fair chunk of time to practicing my martial arts material. Oh, and that I have to do some writing stuff or go insane (Trust me, this has been tested and found to be true. And I tend to go crazy in the not-fun way. I mean, the fun way a little, but mostly the Oh-God-is-she-scary way.). And I have a house that needs to be kept in order, because having my surroundings in order helps me to stay in order.

Must get routines established. Must train self to wake at unholy hour of 5:30 a.m. to allow time for martial arts training, routines, etc. before going to work. Must figure out way to cram martial arts material review and/or editing rough draft into bus ride. Must cut out most TV/Netflix watching.

Must.

Should also work on figuring out good way to relax despite all the above.

Oh, and taxes. And updating passports. And that story project I just queried on, which if they respond I may have an actual obligation to write in a reasonable amount of time. And Vicesteed critique maintenance.

Maybe a (maintaining) sanity checklist would help? What would be on such a thing?

• Took away the Leprechaun's Lucky Charms


• Put in earplugs to quiet the voices


• Cleaned sniper rifle


• Bought new bottle of redrum.

Check.

Check. Earplugs make the voices so much clearer.

Added sniper rifle to shopping list.

Check.

I tried exercising in the morning before going to work. It lasted about three months before my life took that time away from me. It sucked for the first 2 weeks and then strangely enough, my body would wake up and want to work out...

Also, to help solve some of your netflix issues...did you see that you can now watch movies through them on your computer? It is free with your netflix account making this a fabulous thing...if you ever find time again. :)

As far as exercising in the morning--Step 1. Get Out Of Bed. I'm kinda stuck there.

The Netflix thing would probably be fantastic if we had something other than dial-up.
