Jul. 9th, 2003 08:12 pmStill thinking about time/scheduling/trying to make it all fit together. Last night I was pretty well settled in the opinion that there's no fixing this, because it's too unpredictable. One can't tell when ones mom is going to call for 2 hours, or the cat will vomit on the rugs (yes, plural. at the same time, too.) and so on. Today, though, I'm not so sure. Of course there are going to be days where it doesn't work out, but it shouldn't be impossible.
Perhaps I'll do some resource-hunting...The problem I run into often is that my standards in regards to how *my* (note the emphasis, please. I'm not placing value judgements on anyone elses housekeeping, thank you) house is kept seem to be unusual. I'm not taling OCD-type unusual, as even from my seat I can see dust, some things out of place, all the normal signs that two people with long hair and cats live here. Sir's parents don't think too highly of my housekeeping, either - their place is invariably spotless (oh, oh, I envy. However, they have a cleaning woman, and while Sir has suggested it, I'm repelled by the idea.) Still, it seems like most people find my standards unusual, which makes it difficult to find resources applicable to me.
(Tangent. Discovered recipe for coconut margaritas. Made said margaritas. Recipe says serves one, but fills 2 rocks glasses. Is Wonderful. Would pay 9$ for it at NYC bar. See why I don't get out much?)
I seem to play 'get-away-closer' with a lot of things in my life, I've noticed. My spiritual practices, my emotional foundation as a servant, my creative impulses, etc. I can't quite figure out what causes this, either. I've always thought I could multitask well, but perhaps I'm a little unbalanced, and lose focus too easily. I expect the only real way to work on that is to try and harden my focus.
Hmm...Planning...Perhaps an essay or three outlining what each thing entails and why I find each part is needed to make the whole. Having it in solid form, with the consideration required to actually write it out may help. Plus, there's also the exceedingly simple solution of getting back on the damn horse.
