Segmented

This morning, I have the urge to do what I want to do. Mind you, that means knocking some things off my list that aren’t categorized under putting-out-fires—we all know fires should be taken care of first. But these other less-than-important things niggle at me 24/7. I need to quilt JJ’s middle school quilt. I need to make some calls for medical insurance. I need to organize my office. But these are all things that can be put off for the dishes, dinner, and laundry.

Sometimes, I think I’m a pie. I’ve segmented myself so thin that a slice of my time isn’t satisfying; it just doesn’t fill me up.

…At the end of today, the Result…

I compromised. I did the dishes. I put in a load of laundry. But we scavenged for dinner so I could quilt. I got a big chunk done. There is something about sewing/quilting which soothes my soul. My main job is to write but it takes a long time to get a manuscript done. But sitting down at the sewing machine and touching fabric and watching it come together is satisfying. I enjoyed my slice of time today.
