Life in the vacuum
OMG I am so busy I feel like I am and have been living in a vacuum much of this year.
The job is going well, but it has been nearly all consuming, and is continuing to bleed me of having any semblance of a life. Granted, I knew this was going to be the outcome of the promotion I had gotten earlier this year, and the workload I'm dealing with should ease up significantly in the next month or so, but, the cost to me much this year has felt like social isolation.
Not to say life is bad, but I'd really like to get back to where I was last year. When I had ~time~ and everyone in my life had ~time~. Man, that ~time~ thing can be elusive, especially when you wish you had more. It seems that so much is going on (which it is), and schedules are so conflicted, that finding quiet time with the Vixen and even managing a lunch with a friend is proving exceeding difficult.
Its peculiar, a few years back I would have never noticed the drain on myself of not having contact with people, well, I suppose because I didn't have much contact with people.
Now, all is not bad, I was on vacation last week (an extended family included vacation). It went well, fun was had, but, really not much time that didn't include EVERYONE. The upcoming vacation should be much more vacation like, and although exceeding busy at work, I'm hoping to be able to wind down for that week and relax...
As far as work goes, I've got some big things to pull off before my vacation, and its gonna be tight, but that should take a fair share of the pressure off the project.
Home life is equally busy, the Vixen and I are doing some extensive landscaping, ok, much of the work we are having done, but, I have work in progress that I need to complete before the contractor can continue, yes, another major project that much be completed before vacation, assuming the weather holds, I hope to have my part of the landscaping out of the way by the end of this coming weekend.
So, my life in the vacuum. Sucked into huge time critical project at work eating up any free time I had at work, you know, things like lunches and breaks, time to think. Big projects at home eating up my time after work, you know, get home from work, bust my ass in the yard. I really need some of this stuff to slow down, and yeah, its coming, but, well, its not here yet.
And yeah, I still know I need to find time to post, I have thoughts to post, just not the time. Really didn't have the time for this, but I took it anyways, I think I need to just take the time.
