Well here I go again, it has been a couple of months I think since my last post, but you know that work life balance thing that I have been trying to work on. There was a time when controlling work life balance was easy, because I worked from home due to that wonderful pandemic, it almost makes me want there to be another one just so they send us all home to work so we can\u2019t spread it (not like it actually worked).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What kills me is I can\u2019t even begin to fix that balance problem because Monday through Friday I wind up with very little time left over when work is over, I figure by the time I arrive home and do what is necessary to have time I have 2 hours left over before I need to go to sleep and repeat the whole process all over again. It has really come to I spend more time at work in my waking hours than I spend in my own house that I bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But at some point I am going to get it figured out even if I use just those 2 hours to actually start getting more art created and get my drawing skills back, I guess it is going to come to finally sacrificing what little time I might have to relax just to do the other thing I want to get done so that I can build something up for once I get to retire, as I would like to have art providing me some solid income by the time I retire in 6 years. I do think it is possible to get it done, one of those things that I just have to start doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well this will be all for now.
Later
