It's hard for me to keep in touch with people when I'm tired all the time. No, others do it with a schedule like mine. I'm just a bad time manager these days. I can't imagine how I did it when I worked in the city and had two or three less hours in my life each day to work with. But I did.
Part of me is trying to juggle too many things at one time. I want to see as many of my friends as possible, and schedules often don't work the way they need to work to make this a reality. For example, one friend, MW and I were supposed to get together this weekend. She forgot that it was going to be Easter, and that she'd be having her dad, her boyfriend and his daughter over that day. Additionally, she had to help out her ex, who had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery. Another example is KOL. LK and I make time for her, but she has a nasty habit of letting things in her life get in the way. (I won't go into KOL's family issues here, but they are likely to be complex at the present from what we know.) And then, there are all the other people circling around my life who never can seem to stop for a while.
Of course, not getting enough sleep doesn't help. I used to take the ex girlfriend's issues with sleep a little bit lightly. She'd go to sleep with her cellphone in hand, and then wake up a couple of hours later, unable to go to sleep for another 4 hours or so. She was always overtired, and now I've fallen into a similar pattern. AARGH!
At least, I found the time to polish my nails last night....
