Time - I need time!

[tigira]

I feel awful. Since January, I have managed one (or two, if I've been lucky) days each month to just have to myself. I am finding that this is not enough.

meadmaker has been wonderfully patient with me as my temper gets shorter. I suppose, in my life, I have always been able to have ample time alone - it's not something I usually had to schedule. On the other hand, there has always been some activity that I was willing to discontinue in order to get the time I needed. I no longer have that.

Between circles, and morris, and dates, I have not had a day to myself in over a month. It doesn't look like I'll get a weekend day like that again for a loooooong time. *sigh*

So, meadmaker, seeing how stressed I've been, volunteered to give me a night off. We usually have our date night on Mondays. He has chosen to give it up in order to have a less stressed me.

Before me, I have packing and cleaning to do, I have studying to get through for my exam in May, and I have to move. Moving is another stress.

So, fair warning, if anybody asks for time, and I say I can't - it's not personal. I'm trying not to get to the point of illness or the place where I can no longer be civil to anyone.

Thanks.

When the Craziness of May Ends.....

....ask cairpre26 about the possibility of "sip and flip" (especially since you'll be in the 'hood!).

Ah, I thought the "sip-n-flip" was a birthday thing...though mine is only a month after my move. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

You and your sweetie are so kind. :)
I'm going to enjoy having you for near-neighbors.

How 'bout we don't get together until you're moved?

*sigh* This is where I feel torn...but, perhaps that's the best thing. :-\ Otherwise, I fear I may be rotten company. :( And that would never do for you.

::hugs:: Greetings from the Bodhisattva of Overcommitment. Let me know when time frees up a bit...

Thanks. I like that..."Bodhisattva of Overcommitment" can that be a shared title?

It's something I came up with years ago, and use every now & then. You're the first person ever to ask if they could use it. If you feel it fits, then go ahead. Remember that taking on titles is much like wishing for things.
