I am thinking a lot about multitasking. \u00a0I am always thinking about multitasking, because there is always so much to do. \u00a0I really, really miss being a child at this point, because I could spend an entire afternoon sitting on the floor, reading. \u00a0Or watching the clouds. \u00a0Or sewing. \u00a0And there was NOTHING else that had to be done. \u00a0I didn’t look at a clock very much. \u00a0I don’t think I owned a watch until I was 13 or 14. \u00a0Things were simpler. \u00a0Dinner was when Mom called me. \u00a0It was time to come in when it got dark. \u00a0You know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Simple.<\/p>\n

Now, I have a watch that I rarely take off. \u00a0I have plans for every day, and they always seem to involve doing multiple things at once. \u00a0Making breakfast and writing (cough, cough, right now). \u00a0Shoveling snow and making a grocery list. \u00a0Making dinner in the crockpot while sewing. \u00a0It never ends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am jealous of those people who can sit down and focus on something to the exclusion of all else. \u00a0I can’t do that anymore. \u00a0I need to relearn how to, and that’s what I’m going to be working on. \u00a0Luckily, I have studio time coming up, and that’s where I will be focusing. \u00a0No TV, no cooking, just writing. \u00a0Or sewing. \u00a0Or perhaps reading.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But today, multitasking is the word of the day. \u00a0Time to get some words in while I eat, then go out and shovel. \u00a0Welcome to being an adult, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
