Early Life Crisis

Okay, so it's not really a crisis. hehe But, it's something. Joe and I have been sitting here beating our heads against the wall. There is just no motivation to get things done. For me, I had been playing a ton of WOW, and I have zero or less than zero interest in playing. But, what do we do instead? That's the problem. There are millions of other things to do, but since there is so much, we are overwhelmed.

1) Prayer time. This is a biggy for us. We have no time for prayer. And by no time, I don't mean that we are so busy, I mean that we just don't make time..plain and simple. Solution? Simple...make the time. Easy right? Sure..kind of. lol We don't have the same prayer time likes, so using Liturgy of the Hours isn't going to work for us together, unless one of us sucks it up and we just sit down together during the day to do that. Joe likes late night prayer, which is terrific, and I support it 100%, but I am so exhausted by that time, that I just can't do anything. So, for me, it's morning or really anytime other than late evening.

2) Exercise time. Same problem as above, but of course less pressing. It's not like my soul depends at all on whether I exercise. But, I know my health does, as does the idea of treating my body like a temple. I really don't do that. I let things go, I don't eat properly, etc etc etc. Solution? Start eating right and exercising regularily. The solutions are all so simple. lol This is going to require some mental work on my part. My overall ability is limited, so I have to just find something that works. Otherwise, I over do it and hurt myself. My plan is to start using the exercise bike every day, with extra workouts in there too. And the big thing is to start eating regular meals.

3) Work on the house. I've been so darned tired, that this has fallen flat. But, the kitchen just absolutely must get done before the end of August. If we want to make our deadline to get the house on the market, these things must get done.

4) School/extra learning stuff. Well...where to go here. I have some books that I need to get through before classes start. Getting through them will determine whether I take the classes I have signed up for or not. I have calculus books that I have to be able to get my head wrapped around before December comes, because if I can't, then there is no point in taking the class. The Latin is only in my spare time to keep my skill up, because I'm not taking a Latin class this year.

I hate just sitting at my desk all the time. It just makes me feel so lazy! Especially when I have other things I could be doing. One plus will be that we're heading to Virginia in 9 days. I'll be taking a bunch of books and things with me, and we have no plans on playing WOW, so I'll have time to do some reading and stuff. We'll have a few days in there for the Trimmer Bash, which should be lots of fun. I'm quite looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in quite some time.
