Time, it is a sweet, precious, fleeting thing!

My life and schedule the last 25 or so years:

*Wake up
*Jog
*Go to work
*Come home
*Do all my paperwork, mail, blogs, emails, etc for the day
*If it is spring/summer/fall, make sure all the yard and gardens are in order
*Eat a bag of steamed veggies over the kitchen sink
*Watch a little New England sports - depending on the season, Sox, Bruins, Patriots, Celts, UConn hoop.
*Do some crunches during commercials
*Go to bed by 9:30 or so with a book to read
*Fall asleep by 10
*Dream about working all night long
*Get up and do it all over again - 7 days a week.
*Shop (some frozen veggies, maybe salad stuff), clean the house whether it needs it or not (approximately an hour or so a week), and do a load or 2 of laundry once a week.

I thought I was busy then.... I was.... and yet now, I have become busier since getting  back together with my one and only true love last spring, and marrying last fall.

My life and schedule the last year:

*Wake up
*Jog, if I wake up early enough
*Go to work
*Come home
*Try to do all my paperwork, mail, blogs, emails, etc for the day - but sometimes I can't finish it all
*In a new house as spring arrives, try to get the years neglected yard and gardens in order
*Cook supper, something new every night
*Wash and dry what seems like massive amounts of dishes from the dinner that is no longer a bag of frozen veggies
*Try to watch a little New England sports - depending on the season, Sox, Bruins, Patriots, Celts, UConn hoop, unless the hubs gets to the tv and finds Gilligan's Island (yes, I am a fan, too), or some other old sitcom.
*Try to read a few pages of the latest book, while hubs laughs hysterically at whatever old sitcom is on
*Go to bed by 11 or so with long conversations (I'm on the listening end....)
*Fall asleep by whenever
*Dream about working all night long
*Get up and do it all over again - 5 days a week.
*Shop (a huge basketful), prepare lunches for the week, clean ~ and it needs it very much (approximately 3 hours per week) and do a load or 2 of laundry once a day.
What a difference! I am a rather good time manager and efficient with my movements but I see it is much more of a challenge when there is more than one man in the boat!

Time, it is a sweet, precious, fleeting thing!

Be thankful for the time you have, appreciate it, and use it wisely!

I am a Putnamaniac that loves time! Wish I had some more!
