“Totally Maxed Out”

I haven't posted an update in a while for the most common excuse of all: I've been way too busy living a life to have the time to write about it.

It's really just an issue of priorities. Trying to earn a living, sharing the job of raising a beautiful baby girl, visiting her parents once or twice weekly, teaching midweek Bible class, talking to the parents for fifteen minutes each every day that they aren't visited, riding my bike at least three or four times per week, etc., etc., etc... these things have all taken priority over any writing whatsoever.

Midweek class will no longer be my responsibility in two or three more weeks. That will free up about four hours of my time... but this is time for which other responsibilities are already begging. Sigh.

I like being busy, but I don't like living at maximum capacity all the time.

Update: None of the above precludes my taking a day off here and there for "planned events" such as bike rides with friends. Whether or not I've ever met those friends. ;-) But obviously if the event is never planned, I can't take the day off...
