It feels like I have less time in my life. Considering I'm working 35-40 hours a week now, of course that's true. More of my time is spent in a place I love, doing meaningful work. Those hours are definitely pulled from the abundant "knitting/TV/internet" category of time. It also feels more difficult to squeeze in gym time, and I feel less motivated to work out. When I wasn't working, it was definitely a social thing and I had plenty of veg time.
With the end of the bastard overnight weekend shifts, we can do more social things too - like we did this weekend. Pretty packed, it felt like. 5 hours of knitting with the dear Audrey and the Macys', then supper and a movie with the Kalla Krew on Friday. Meeting, lunch with mom, and a failed craft project Saturday before supper with Brian's family, and a coffee & meeting already today. I need to get to the Y... but I kind of just want to knit and chill. My mind is kind of racing today, though, so I need to hit the gym and burn down some of the chaos.
I haven't even cooked anything good lately, and my knitting isn't really moving at all... still working on sweater #1 of 2011, and whipping up a hat, too.
I'm just being boring and whiny now, so I guess that's a good time to hit the gym. Ciao!
Dude, I feel ya. I hate it when I get to feeling like this and it happens more often than I'd like (which would be, um, never!). Hang in there though and you will get in your groove! New jobs, even great ones, are still a change your need to adapt to mentally and physically.
