stormdogHey. I have a question.
I'm feeling stressed out by lack of time these days. I think that I have too much planned out stuff in my life. That I need a little more free time.
So I'm curious. How much of your week, both week-days and weekends, are, typically, accounted for before they happen? And how early do you plan them out?
In my case, every Wednesday is dinner with my parents. Every Friday is the coffee meetup in Kenosha. Those are pre-planned events.
Tuesday I went out for food with a co-worker (decided on Monday and kind of felt obligated). Tonight we talked to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
polymorphism about dinner and stuff (Polymorphism, I need to talk to you about that. Can you email me with your number?). Things also keep coming up during the week that I do really want to do (invitations from megmoves or posicat to hang out, or going over to my parents' place to play Wii games or Rockband or something, or working on friends' and family members' computers maybe). It seems like I often only have an evening or two without commitments, and I usually spend those cleaning up, or stressing that I'm not cleaning up.
This weekend we haverileybear67 visisting, and on Sunday, I'm going to the train museum with my parents. Next weekend is booked too (trip with Moira on Saturday, and another with she and more people on Sunday), as is the weekend after that (going to Michigan with folks).
How busy are the rest of you folks? Do you plan out weekend days to yourself? Do you feel like you need to? Who feels like they have too many demands, specifically on their leisure time? I'm just curious about how my life compares with other people in that regard.
I guess I'm just feeling kind of stressed out. I actually have, more or less, since the Dells trip. I've had this tightness in my chest and some muscle spasms there, mainly since going on that raft ride with folks and dealing with other stuff that was entirely unexpected and kind of stressful. I'm thinking about staying home on Friday night and just having the house to myself. I haven't had enough solitude recently. Besides, that way I can be happy and bouncy when Moira and I get to see Rileybear!
=========
You know, I hope my post here isn't taken the wrong way by anybody. I want to see all of you I really, really do; believe me. I'm deeply grateful to have people in my life who actually like to see me and do things with me. It's just been a really long week (that started last Monday...) and I'm thinking about how to prioritize things.
