Chaos, Confusion

learnteachIt all seemed so simple.
In the desert, it all was.
Take care of yourself first, then others. Drink more water. No, more than that. Eat when you're hungry from the supplies you brought. Sleep when you feel like it.
No appointments...that I could make. No meetings not bartered by chance or campmates. Time reduced to "early", "Late", and "really early" and all that relative. Money only useful for coffee, ice or blackmarket pharms ...none of which I needed.
But here...obligations from work, family, friends; house, car, bike; maintenance, finance, communication. Schedules from events, work, systems, birthdays, social life, self. Projects out the wazoo and beyond (To Infinity and Beyond! Is that where the glue gun is?)
...and I've lost my daytimer. And my schedule was shattered. And it's a particularly stressful time, not that it takes much to be that.
Ok, enough whinging.
STATUS CHECK:
House: Static. Car: Needs work. Bike: Needs washing.
Body: Diet Poor. Exercise non-existant. Large hairy carnivores: Not chewing on me. Small chitinous parasites: Nope.
Plan: Um.
