So I’ve been busy busy busy busy busy. I’ve been running around like a chicken, squawking and flapping my wings, as I try to get a million things done. I’m intimidated, overwhelmed, happy that I’m busy, bummed because I’m too busy.<\/p>\n
One of the things I’m doing is watching my dad’s dogs, and while pleasantly thinking about things during one of the drives out to San Marcos (where my dad’s dogs are), I realized that it will never change. I always thought that I would eventually “catch up.” I would have all the chores done and then I could set a normal pace of maintenance. And it dawned on me in the flash of a second, like when you suddenly realize what’s causing a bug in a program, that that will never happen. The very nature of life is that one thing will come after another and I will never “catch up.” That, in reality, there is no such thing as “catching up,” it’s all just “living.”<\/p>\n
Well, that’s a new bit of information. I haven’t quite figured out how to work it into my schedule. But I do know now why the Germans are always so grumpy. As a population, they haven’t figured this out yet. They’re still trying to catch up, always feeling like they aren’t working hard enough, and only if they work harder, then everything will fall into place.<\/p>\n
Oooooh, you can’t make generalizations about a population like that! you say. Well, my ancestors are German and we still have a strong German heritage in our family, even down to our physical appearances. And everyone knows that it’s okay to make fun of your own race. \ud83d\ude09 Or do you not watch Def Comedy Jam?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
