Sept. routine

At the beginning of the month it was getting used to the new school routine. The it was finishing getting the house organized. Then it was getting the studio organized, and I was determined to make some art, which I did, and damn good are as it turns out. Exercise fit in sometimes, not consistently, but 2-3 days a week I either rode my bike a little or went swimming, even made it to the gym a couple of times. We are well into our routine now, and I thought that by now I would be exercising at least 3-4 days per week, going to the studio 3 days per week, volunteer at school one day, and do housework one day.

So, why hasn;t that happened yet? Because I am no good at and have never been good at having a routine. I am a fly-by-the seat of my pants kind of a person, I go with my moods which are unpredictable at best. Lately I have had bursts of creative energy, so I have been trying to take advantage of that. Going to yard sales and making inspirational recycled art.

But I have not been exercising or keeping up with the house beyond the absolute neccesities like grocery shopping, making dinner, and barely keeping up with laundry.

I have not been eating right. Or drinking enough. Or exercising. Difficulty sleeping, sometimes. Tired when I am at home. Not being able to keep the schedule. Have many things happening at once (art shows, poetry readings, social events, etc.)

I need to start meditating again (as if I ever did THAT on a regular basis...hah.)

I just feel out of control these days.
