I have to balance out cleaning and cooking and school (which may need to take the back burner while I learn my new job) and my new job. There aren't enough hours in the day for everything if I also want to eat, sleep, bathe, and spend any time with my boyfriend. And now I added the Challenge to it because I needed something to have a few minutes a day to write, just to relax and breath, though keeping up with comments is near impossible from my phone. I suppose time and learning are the only ways to find lagum for bein an adult.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507642753163503531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-41000673749125437432014-04-14T16:54:35.118-06:002014-04-14T16:54:35.118-06:00I am trying to balance everything...it seems like ...I am trying to balance everything...it seems like I had more time when I was working full time.

On the other side of that, there's a fantastic Native American word, "koyaanisqatsi" (pronounced koy-ahn-iss-KAT-see"), that means a life out of balance. <br /><br />For a good balance, I just need to remember not to neglect my social life, which is easy to do as a writer. Then I get in a crappy mood, and forget that it's because I haven't seen daylight in a full week.
