Life in the interims

Life is busy here lately, and I suppose it's a good thing. It's different from the recent, long term pattern, that's for sure. While it's possible to schedule the basic necessities, I find it's also possible to fit in just a little bit more of the things that need doing into the cracks of my life.

For example, my morning includes distinct time periods for feeding myself and the animals, preparing myself for work, and dropping my son off at his Grandma's. By my days off, the place looks a wreck, because housekeeping is of a secondary nature.

I've washed dishes, called a friend and gotten a quick workout during times when I'd otherwise be taking the odd breath and daydreaming.
