Not Enough Hours In The Day...

            Lately it seems like the day just goes by so fast. We fall into a “routine” of things that we do daily or weekly. Whatever it is, it makes our day go by faster. For me I used to have those days were it seems like the day will never end. Those days  when I was still in school, sitting in a classroom and writing notes. I would constantly keep looking at the clock to wonder when the class would be over and the school would let us out for the day.

           

            Now that I’m out of high school it seems like my days consists of waking up, taking care of a couple of things, and then going back to bed. Now that it is a new year, I’m trying to make the most of each of my days. No matter how small the goal or project for the day. I try to keep myself busy, I used to sit in a room and either listen to music and stare at the wall or I would sleep. I used to sleep a lot, and for some reason it seems like I can’t get enough of sleep.

           

            Remember as a kid, you would have nap times at the house or when you were in kindergarten you would have nap times as well. Growing up, I used to hate those. I felt like sometimes it was a punishment. I remember when I would go to bed; my mom would tell me to face the wall so that way I could close my eyes. I still to this day face the wall when I go to bed. Kinda weird, huh?

            The summer before my senior year of high school I used to sit in my room and stay on my computer all the time. It was like my getaway from life. I was always on Facebook. My parent’s used to call me the roommate because I would only come out for food, using the bathroom, or to hang out with my friends. It was horrible the way I was. But I’m learning now that I have my own place that I can do a bunch of things now.

            I cook, clean, do laundry, watch TV occasionally, quilt, read books, write this blog, write stories, etc. I try to stay busy and it helps me sometimes especially at night. When I feel so tired, I know it’s cause I stayed busy and I’ll have a good night’s sleep. It’s the best feeling in the world when you know you aren’t wasting a precious day of your life.
