Drowning in Leisure

It’s pretty sad when my free time is actually busier than my work time.

Work is keeping me occupied enough. It’s pretty steady but I am treading water, not really getting behind or making much progress. But when it comes to my free time, I am getting woefully behind. There are so many things that I want to do in my free time that I don’t know where to begin. I am far, far behind in my blog reading–I’ve already abandoned all hope of catching up there–and I have literally thousands of bookmarked articles on The Huffington Post and Towleroad that I need to get around to reading. I’ve been wanting to resume work on some D&D material I’ve been thinking about, as well as some musical projects I’ve been turning over in my mind. I’ve got a book or two that I’ve been trying to make time to finish reading, plus I need to compile all my old stuff from the old blogs before they are lost forever. And don’t get me started on basic housework. And Christmas shopping. Ugh, seems every time I turn around the list just gets longer and longer.

The fact that, as of late, I’ve turned into an object of desire for a great many people is doing nothing to help me work my way down the list. In fact it may be the reason why I’ve gotten so behind–too busy enjoying all the flirtation and all the attention. I reckon it’s a good problem to have…

I’m going to have to open up bidding on my leisure time to contractors in order to get everything covered!
