Gosh! Am I knackered! All the long days at work due to planning period, trying to keep up with the “run-a-muck” workouts, too many reunion dinners and late nights spent blogging. Ok. Ok. I know the last three is self inflicted since I don’t necessarily have to do them. In any case, I am running at a deficit when it comes to sleep; probably averages about 5 hours sleep a night. *yawn*
In any case, I have an axe to grind. The world should have been made to spin on its axis for more than just 24 hours! There is just not enough time to do everything!
Imagine this. We spend approximately 10 hours a day at work. At least I do. Throw in 2-3 hours of travelling to and from work due to the bloody jam. OK. That makes a total of about 13 hours gone. Tick tock tick ... Maybe I should follow my friend's lead and move to Labuan where everything is just 5-10 minutes away.
After work, we might meet up with friends for dinner or have a dinner date. That would take up at least 2 hours of our time (most likely more since we might get caught in another bloody jam getting there). Say, to keep a healthy lifestyle or to keep up with the “run-a-muck” challenge for some crazy people (* pointing at self *), we might want to work out for about an hour or more a day. Travelling to the gym or to the squash or badminton courts and showering after that could take up another hour. That will be a total of 2 hours for working out. So far, 17 hours are gone. Tick tock tick tock …
When we reach home, we need to wind down, spend time with family, watch TV, surf the net, write blogs, etc. All this could take another 2 hours or more. Now, a total of 19 hours are gone. Tick tock tick tock tick … Dang! There’s only less than 5 hours left to sleep. But we have yet to do other things we really want to do such as read, learn a new language, watch movie, play a musical instrument, paint, etc.
Weekends are no better but that’s another long story. There's always the cleaning to do, the errands to run, friends to visit, mountains to trek, books to read, movies/ DVDs to watch, places to go ... (Yeah! I know I should mention doing my dissertation somewhere on this piece. Oh dear! More things on the to-do list.)
Simply put, 24 hours is really not enough!!!
Gosh! I am really knackered. Good night, sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite.
*Another yawn. Leanne signing out. Finally taking the toothpicks from the eyelids. .... ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz*

When you leave, its not what you have taken along; but what you leave behind, than matters to the ones you left behind.
Such profound thoughts. I have such profound friends! LOL
