Time - I need time!

tigiraI 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.
