I’ve been on a routine these past few days. Lately, days have been like this: listen to a podcast, drink my Forever Nuts, go for a run, do some drumming, listen to some opera, sell some shit online, be productive in general and then maybe I’ll go find some friends. I think I’ve been putting way too much on my plate though. I get home at the end of the night feeling so tired and drained. Thank god my tattoo artist cancelled on me this week. I’m also thankful for a couple of cancellations from friends too. I had double-books and I just didn’t have the energy to handle everything. At least I’ve been sleeping well these past few days. Extremely well, actually. I’ve been sleeping a consistent and uninterrupted 9 hours every night, since I got sick. Hallelujah. Have to say that I feel on top of the world when I wake up. I hope this lasts for a while.
I wonder how people with a nine-to-five job find enough time for themselves. I feel like I just have enough hours in the day to do everything I want and I’m barely working during the week. I’ve recently been feeling really fortunate about being a part of this gig economy. I have the luxury of time to spend each day doing some learning, working out, socializing, and being creative. I really want to maintain a balance between all those things but I don’t think I’d be able to do it working a normal job. I’ve definitely been taking things as they come. I live day-by-day and I wonder if I’m eventually going to trip up. There are so many things I want but I know I can’t have everything.
The snow’s super beautiful today but I hope it doesn’t cause trouble cause we’re heading out to Ottawa in a few hours. I’ll be spending the weekend with a new group of people. I’m very interested to see how the group dynamic’s going to be like. I’m pretty sure my perfect sleep-streak is going to end here though.
