I'm having trouble with both time and space lately. The time problem is a simple one - being too busy, combined with the annoying tendency of too many things happening at once, making me have to choose which one to do. For example, I got a very tempting party invitation, but it is out of town on the same weekend that I already have theatre tickets. Okay, that one is easy since I had the tickets already, but it's the same problem. Too often, I feel overwhelmed by the choices and end up not doing anything at all.
Somehow, I still manage to have way too crowded a calendar with not much white space. A similar lack of space is taking over my condo, mostly because I have been really bad about household paperwork. I should have devoted several hours this weekend to filing and shredding, but I ended up taking long naps and reading instead. Admittedly, I still have a few hours when I could be getting things done, but I know that I will make less progress than I intended. I said something a few weeks ago about trying to spend 45 minutes a day on household stuff. Lately, it seems like I manage maybe 45 seconds.
On a more interesting note, why is it that the Shakespeare Theatre has two productions going on right now, neither of a Shakespeare play? And that more than half the Savoyards productions for the season are not Gilbert and Sullivan operettas? This is just wrong, I say.
