...sigh...


Well, the hoopla is over. The trip came and went in a flash. The party was wonderful - more of a reunion, really. It was so good to see everyone! I said it before and I will say it again - I just wish that I'd had more time to spend with each person who came to see me.

And now what is left is settling back into my life and wondering...what's next?

Most weekends I use as time to recover from the week before it. (Although, this past week I was recovering from the weekend before!) I wish that I was more focused on the things I want to do with my "free" time. I am a creative person, but too often I have a hard time getting started.

I have bookcases filled with books I haven't read yet. I have a craft room filled with patterns, uncut fabrics, scrapbooking materials, yarn, photo albums, paints....all kinds of "stuff." I have a backyard in desperate need of my attention. My house could always use some cleaning. There are letters I need to write; friends I should call...

There is plenty to do, but I feel frozen. I don't know if it's that I am so overwhelmed by all there is to do. Why can't I just choose something and do it? I'm sure that I spend too much time sitting here with my laptop on facebook, searching the internet, or playing Words with Friends.

Maybe it's just PVD - Post Vacation Depression.

I need a plan. I need to make a list. There are things to do...
