Time

Time

That elusive thing that we all want more of.

Life is full of deadlines. The trick is juggling everything so the important stuff is done and the rest can fall where it may without interruptions. Like the saying goes 'don't sweat the small stuff.'

Of course you got to decide what's small.  :)

Writing is of course a big thing to me. So it gets a large chunk of that precious time. Sometimes too much of it. My cat tells me when I've spent too much time at the computer. He jumps into my lap and rubs against me, telling me he's had enough of being ignored.  I close the program I'm working on and do something else, usually pet him. .

Reading whether for personal or online college reasons is another time consumer. Whether it's writing magazines or college texts or the guilty pleasure of fan fiction I read a lot in a day.

Then there's the normal everyday things--like cleaning.  Which I'm terrible at by the way. I'd rather spend my time on writing or reading and usually let things go a bit. Then I have to spend more time cleaning. I wish they'd hurry up and create that self-cleaning smart home. :)

Time just slips through my fingers.

And time is not consistent. They say time is fluid. Well, it doesn't flow at the same rate, that's for sure! Good times never stay long enough and the bad times seem to stay forever.
