Butterfly Trials

Ah, the endless juggling of social circles and schedules.

I've always been one to float between different groups, it happened in high school, it happened at the junior college, it happens in the Camarilla, and since I do still play in the Cam every once in a while it still is happening.

So I currently juggle the normal work/sleep/eat with time with the Boyfriend, my fabulous ladies, friends of the Boyfriend, our church group, my church group, various volunteer stuff, game friends A and game friends B (two different circles, that occasionaly intertwine, but not without cattiness behind others backs, which is getting more and more annoying as time goes on, because I'm finding my snark and cattiness is slowly going away.) And then there's occasional social time with people from work. Trying to make time for the little family I have left comes into play as well. Although it's pretty easy to make time for Mom as she lives not far away from the Boyfriend, although if I go to his house after hers I stink like ciggarettes and get sprayed with Fabreeze.

That only happened once, but it made me laugh a lot at the time.

Dad, sadly, is harder to get a hold of. So we don't get to see eachother that often. But he has the new wife and her kids... so he's pretty busy with the new family.

But I digress. With all that juggling I have very little time to myself, and I'm starting to feel the effects of it. But it's odd, when I DO take the time for myself, I find that I go a little nuts. Then I start calling people and finding something to go do.

I need to find a balance through these social butterfly trials. Burnouts are not fun and I can feel I'm heading towards one.

It's going to get worse for the holly-days too.

*deep breath*

Just two months of serious juggling action. I can do this.
