AND SO ON WITH LIFE (... RIGHT)

After what could have been some of the busiest weeks of my life, I'm going to make an attempt to recover some semblance of what my schedule use to look like. umm... well, that might have to wait 'till after I'm done with substitute teach at the school next week. That's definitely creating a not-normal schedule. Oh well, I'm getting a charge out of it, and so is my wallet. *grin*

So right now it's Spring Break and I'm trying to take advantage of the time to get some much-needed things worked on - i.e. design projects at church, reading/studying, house cleaning, TAXES, washing and waxing the car, thinning out my wardrobe of things lesser and less likely to be worn, etc. ... so yeah, tally ho. *sniff*

And all this business makes me wonder something. When does the business get the better of you? I mean, where in the measure of our work is the saturation point where we stop being conscious of our own existence? I definitely don't think I've hit it yet, but maybe I've seen it on the horizon. Thanks to those who've jokingly chided me for complaining about "how busy" I am, because I don't have a girlfriend, wife, family of 2, 3 or 7 with a mortgage, lawn, and pets who dig it up. Right. I have so much to look forward to. I guess, as I see things right now, I don't want to lose who I am in what I do. It definitely seems possible for what I do to define who I am, and with my three jobs and other interests, I am many people. Frankly, it's confusing.

With my focus so varied, it feels like I'm different people for my different pursuits. This leaves each one to find a way to make it home each night, sit around the table, and converse and stare at each other until a whole person can hit the sack. But that's wishful thinking, 'cause I can't remember it happening once yet.

Not that I'm complaining. 'Cause I don't mind filling all the different roles. I do wish that I didn't feel so scattered, though. So coming full circle to that previous thought, I know it's largely what we do that defines us, however, can it be that it's who we are that ties it all together?

*chuckle* ... I think too much. Off to get a haircut.
