How to generate time to do stuff
If somebody could add about 4 extra hours to a day, I'd sign up. Damn, can't seem to get all the stuff I want to do, done. My wife says I have too many hobbies. I say, I have too many jobs. I work 5 days a week 8-5 at software suppport. After supper, I sit down and work for another couple of hours a night doing books for 3 companies. Add to this the normal day-to-day of running a household, paying bills, fixing broken stuff (this gets more and more trying as the house gets older), etc... and you wind up with a day that seems to run out before the "stuff to do" does. Kinda similar to the old,
"I used to have money at the end of the month. Now I have month at the end of the money"
Ah well, what can you do?
Just back from 2 weeks vacation. Spend a week at the lake and a week in PEI. Weather was absolutely spectacular! We had great time renewing old friendships as the PEI trip is a bi-annual thing (14 years now) with 3 other familes. We'd all met when we lived in Wabush, Labrador. Unfortunately, Francie's mom died suddenly 2 days before our arrival so they could not make it. We all raised a glass (actually, several) in memorium and got on with the week.
The beaches on PEI are varied in terms of sand type. Some feature deep, dune type sand while others tend to be rocky. All of them are beautiful in their own way. We spent one day at a beach where we were pretty much alone. Another beach we shared with several hundred (thousand?) others but were not crowded. Did I mention that some of these beaches are huge, kilometers long and hundreds of meters deep?
Hmmmm... I guess if I hadn't gone away for vacation, I would have had that extra time I need.......
