Not Enough Time
I wish there were twoof me. Identical twins who can finish each other’s sentences and know what theother one is thinking.
That way, maybe I couldget some things done.
I’m not sure how I gotmyself in this predicament. There for a long time, I was over-busy arranging myhubby’s doctor appointments and seeing that he got to them, that he had hismedicines, that he had food to eat… in other words, I was his caregiver.
Then, suddenly, Istarted having my own health issues, and I was juggling appointments for bothof us, researching my new diet, keeping track of my own medicines… I was nowcaregiver to both of us.
Consequently, I didn’tget much business or writing done. Oh, if I had an odd hour free in any givenday, I would edit a chapter or two of a book that was waiting to be published.In the evenings, I would try to write. For the most part, writing was the onlypleasure I had.
Then I discoveredonline classes, called challenges. They involved watching a short video (under10 minutes) and following the simple instructions. Homework probably took 10minutes or less to complete. I was very happy with the results of the first oneI took, and it only lasted 5 days.
Then I signed up for a2nd one, which sounded even more intriguing than the first had. Ithink that’s where I made my mistake.
This challenge lastsfor 5 weeks, with new videos to watch each week, and new homework to do by theend of the week. And it wasn’t just 1 video to watch, but multiples. If youhave to watch 7 or 8 videos at the beginning of the week, that time adds up,even if most of them are under 10 minutes. And then there’s bonus videos towatch, at an hour or two a pop. There were Q&A sessions (2 hours ea) everyThursday afternoon, which I never got to join because of doctor appointments.Deep into week 3, I am now behind on watching 3 Q&A sessions. This challengeis sucking up every spare moment I’ve got and demanding more.
I’ve thought aboutquitting the challenge. But I really want to learn the subject!
It’s only 3 more weeks.(We get a few extra days at the end to catch up.) So I guess I’ll keep doingthe best I can. Maybe I don’t need those Q&A sessions, or the hour-longbonus videos.
I’ve got a book I’vebeen trying to get published for the last 2 weeks. Maybe, when we get back fromour appointments tomorrow, I will publish it before I return to workingon this week’s challenge.
