out of time
I think it's just because I'm getting older. You've heard the idea of living life "one day at a time". Well I no longer feel like I have that option. One day is too small a time period to accomplish anything. I'm lucky any more if I get to live life one week at a time. Now in practical terms, I'm still quite impulsive and spontaneous. I'll still do things on a moment's notice. But the days are gone when I can feel like I've made the most of any particular day--because they all go by so fast. If I stop to think, it's gone. Instead, I find myself evaluating what I got done "this week". A month, or even a year, is a tangible length of time for me nowadays, and that's kind of scary.
