I'm wondering if anyone else finds it hard to fit all the banal life stuff in these days? There is work and sleep which takes up most of the time then you need to shop, cook, clean, make doctors appointments, collect prescriptions, do washings, try and get some exercise, keep up with family and friends to some extent, stuff for and with kids if you have them, time with your spouse and some relaxing time (not much granted. I feel like I am in a race every day to get all the things done so I can sit down with a cup of tea for half an hour before bed each night then its up then next day to do it all again!
I have some time off this week and even yesterday not working I was on the go all day. I was on the phone for over an hour to book a GP appointment then had to walk into town and back to pick up an urgent prescription then washings, cooking, tidying and trying to organise the house before the summer holidays start next week. I know I'm sat on my bum now but I'm having my Lunch and have loads to do this afternoon!
Even if I didn't work I'd still be on the go all the time I think its just that most of the time I have to make do with pretty low standards because for me and my husband we can't physically do anymore than we already do!
Anyone else feel like life is a race these days just to stand still?
