24/7

The phrase "not enough hours in the day" has been coming to mind a lot recently.

Of course I have the normal work hours that take up the daytime, but then getting home and trying to get stuff done is a whole other ballgame. First of all, yes - getting into a work routine with 40 hours a week is an adjustment from school. Yes, I am tired a lot. Often after work I fall asleep at some point. I just can't help it. What with the move, the excitement, and lots of traveling to and from Austin on top of the new job, I am just plain tired.

So I fall asleep and have less time in the evening to do the thousand things that I wrote all over 25 sticky notes that are in my purse, on my desk, coming out of my ears! Right now, if I don't write something down on a sticky note I will forget it. Sometimes I am looking for the sticky notes and the pen and I forget what I was going to write down.

It's an exciting time but it is a busy time. The more I try to get done to clear up my time, the more there seems to be to do. But I think it's good - I like to be busy and I like to have a lot going on. What I'm working towards is being settled and it's probably okay that I'm not there yet as I haven't been working/in Dallas for all that long. It definitely gives me a lot to do in the evenings too so it's a generally very exciting time!

But really, if I had more hours in the day...I'd probably just sleep! ;)

I totally know what you mean here! There are definitely not enough hours in the day for me to get even half the things I need to do in one day done. On top of that, I try so hard to get it all done, but I STLL fall asleep reading for class b/c I'm so tired from the day before. Also, I can't remember anything! A classmate of mine and I were talking about that today.

I know, I fall asleep all the time after work! I've been trying so hard not to do it but I just can't help it. That definitely doesn't help me when I'm trying to get stuff done.
