Busier

Just when you think your life has slowed down a bit, it speeds up.
That is with respect to how much time you have to consider doing nothing.
(Whether you do something or nothing is not the point, just that you have the potential for doing nothing.)

Then of course you must define what “doing nothing” looks like.
For me – let’s start with it doesn’t involve anything that could be written on a calendar.

So – the little one is home, the baseball season has started, work has picked up.
From my vantage point, I think the economy is starting to come back.
Builders are getting ready to build this summer – which means more work for me to help them get started.
Plus some major projects due
Plus reviewing about 30 resumes to replace our head honcho …
Plus it is a Mariner homestand, and 2 soccer games in 2 weeks … plus playing soccer.

So – last night I did not have tickets to the Mariner’s game, just Ashlan and Carl.
I got home, it was still sunny (been a while since we had sun).
So – I had the chance to do nothing.

But, the grass was about 5 inches tall in the back yard since I did not mow last weekend. So – I mowed the grass. One less thing for the weekend. It wore me out. Or more likely, put the last nail in the I’m worn out coffin. So I went inside, ate a bit, watched a bit of old TV on the computer, and went to bed.

This weekend we have 2 baseball games, 1 soccer game to watch in person, 1 soccer game to play in person, a family of friends in from out of town (with several of their other friends – and not staying with us this time), house work (maybe), getting a rental car and hotel together for a June vacation, and 20-30 resumes to review. Oh and Mother’s Day to celebrate…

It is definitely busier today than last month.
