I've been gallivanting around a lot lately. Too much to update my LJ. Meh.

I've been to a few parties, hung out a lot, and generally enjoyed myself once the sun goes down. It's just before that that is a problem ...

50+hrs a week at work
6+hrs a week at the gym
~8hrs a night for sleeping
~2hrs a day for the basics ... shower, eat, etc.
~1hr a day in transit

... leaves me about 4.5hrs a day (averaged over the week) to do stuff. And since my free time does seem to be close to a weekend-only thing, I've had little time for other things. Like relaxing.

My house is a disaster zone. I'm reading less than a book a week. I desperately need 2 new pairs of shoes, because I've managed to seriously injure two pairs. I'd like new clothing, because I'm shrinking out of most of what I currently own. I'd love to watch Heros, but I just don't have the time. I flipped out a couple of weekends ago, because I was so stressed I couldn't stand to be at home, since home was full of chores/work. I haven't had a chance to bake anything, or really cook, in over a month. Knitting? A pipe dream. Getting together a weekly shop? Hasn't been happening. I've been eating frozenbox meals for lunch and dinner quite frequently, because I just don't have the time in the day to make myself a sandwich for lunch. My snacking has gotten less healthy (crisps and cup-a-soups instead of camembert with crackers or fruit) because I don't have the time for preparation or selection of fresh food.

And the second major release date is my birthday - we're about to hit the month+ crunch leading up to that.

.... i need a break. I need time out. I need my house to magically fix itself, so I have one less stress in my life. I need my own car, and parking, so I can drive to and from work and save myself half an hour a day. I need a live-in chef, so I can start taking healthy lunches to work again, because I know that all this crap food is not helping me feel better. I need a personal stylist to sort out my clothes so I don't look like quite such a grab bag dressing up in clothes too big for me.

But that's not going to happen. So somehow, I need to find the endurance to keep on keeping on. I'm running out of places to look, though ...
