Time Crunch
I had a chance to get in 3 swims last week and it was really relaxing. I was looking forward to it this week as well, until a quick review of my calendar informed me that I had no free time to spare this week. At all. Why does everything fall in the same week? Last night, I had to run out and buy some gifts for a baby shower in the office later this week, and run some errands. Tonight, I have a community Board meeting. Wednesday night, I have a League of Women Voters meeting to discuss our next cultural exchange and getting candidates for the fall election organized for debates and campaign speeches, AND I have our Homeowner's Association meeting back to back. Thursday night I have to work late and then go help Zenchick celebrate her last birthday ever, and Friday, I have plans to go out to dinner with a friend. My date book is plotting to undo my New Year's resolutions!
You're not really complaining about a full schedule that's of your own doing, are you? If so, that's ridiculous. I swim for exercise myself and when my schedule no longer permitted me to go when I wanted I started to go when I could, like during my lunch hour. If you really wanted to swim you'd find a way and not blame the schedule that you scheduled for yourself. Nice try, but remember that excuses are useless so get your ass back in the pool.
