Burden of Independence

*sigh* There’s so much to think about *all* the time!! I used to crave independence and dreamed of the day I would do everything myself. Now it’s a miracle if I can get 1/2 of the things on my list done. I have to make a doctor appointment, hair appointment, massage appointment, order prescriptions when they run out, keep a log so I know when my car needs a check-up, pay for gas, buy groceries, water the plants on the deck, go to school, go to work, deposit checks, pay my credit card bill, pay cable, charge all 10 gadgets I use daily, bathe the dog and wash linens once a week, walk and feed the dog every day, feed my beta, clean the tank, and finish homework. This doesn’t include all the cooking, cleaning, and other miscellaneous housework without which my domestic comfort would drown in a sea of dirty laundry and grimy counter tops.

Which is why I have no room in my life for anything but the above list lol But you stack up your priorities in life and have to manage them according to what’s most important to you. I have a beta, a cocker spaniel, and a vegetable garden which take up a considerable amount of time. The rest of my time is dedicated to my family: my brother, 7 month old baby cousin, and my mom. I love to help others and when I move out I’ll have two households to run: that blog will definitely be interesting lol
