Life’s Crazy Treadmill

I feel like I’ve gotten so much done in the past few days, but that I still have so much more to do. I’m sure everyone feels that way sometimes, though, right?

Friday night, I went to a Jewelry 101 class (#13 on the list!). Saturday morning we were up early to get the car serviced, then ran some errands and got the car washed for the first time all winter (I think I heard the car weep with gratitude). From there, I ran to a yarn store to purchase some much needed yarn (that was within budget, I might add) and after dinner we watched The Hurt Locker.

Sunday was a get things done around the house day, and including making pretzels and figuring out how to crochet and general cleaning up.

Monday, I worked from home due to another snowstorm (really, Louisville? Really?). Basically, I sat in front of my laptop all day long waiting for e-mails, taking 5 minute breaks to run to the basement and switch out loads of laundry.

In other words, I’ve been busy, but without really accomplishing anything. You know how it goes. You get on life’s treadmill, you get everything done that needs to get done, but you don’t really feel like you’re moving forward or getting anywhere. Because you know that next weekend, you’ll be doing most of the same stuff again, over and over, weekend after weekend, more laundry, more cleaning, etc. etc.

I try to spice it up with the fun things (class, pretzels, yarn) but these little luxuries don’t seem to be having the joyful uplifting impact I’m hoping for.

I think it’s this winter that’s getting me down. Lack of sunlight. I started taking my Vitamin D again, hoping that will help. I think I just need some sunshine to get me off of the treadmill and make some forward progress.
