Well... September is Over

Well... September is over. That means there are 3 months left of the year of 2011. I can't believe it has gone by so quickly. I don't think I've gotten anything concrete accomplished this month. Heck, I haven't even fully unpacked from moving a month and a half ago.

I need a project. I need something to occupy my time at home other than cooking, cleaning, and video games. I know I have posted about setting up a music room in my basement, but I have serious doubts that that will ever happen. Especially considering that all of my weekends for October are already spoken for. How does this happen? Is this normal? Is this how lives are lived? I feel like I'm in a constant state of disarray. The only real downtime I get is sleep time. I certainly did not feel this way in college, even with the never-ending stream of homework hanging over my head.

Maybe it's time to just set aside time every night for myself. I don't know. I need to learn how to run on less sleep. I wake up at 6, 6:30am. Depending on when I actually get up and out of bed, I'm usually at work by 7:30 or so. I stay at work til 5:30pm. I'm usually home by 6 at the latest. Moose and I have been pretty good about cooking dinner at home since we moved, so by the time dinner is done, it's usually about 6:30 or 7pm. Then, in order to get up by 6, I try to be in bed by 10:30 or 11pm. What can I do with those 4 hours? Why can't I live on 4-5 hours of sleep like everyone else?!

Oh well. I need to do something. Otherwise, Moose is going to get tired of my pestering. I should at least set up my instruments in the basement. It might be fun to just sit down there and goof around.

Maybe I'll get it done in October...
