The thousand little tasks
May. 14th, 2024 08:50 pm... that one has to perform each day can eat up one's time more thoroughly than any big one. I've had several such days lately, and even though a great many of those tasks were self-appointed, they did give me the impression that time is running away from me and that I'll never be able to catch up with my to-do list, even less getting ahead of it.
I'm not complaining. Compared with the majority of people, I actually have a comfortable life. Even if it's running like a hamster wheel, with mostly the same mundane things and very little chance for anything else.
Today I performed my daily duties, made two more tiny teddy bears and went to choir practice. The choir takes part of a festival on Thursday... but I won't. My legs can't deal with all that standing around all afternoon, for a six-minute performance. Most of the others are usually surprised when I tell them such things because as a rule I'm managing well enough. But I know my limitations. Besides, I never liked this particular festival... competition... whatever. I took part of it for many years - not so for the last few, though. Enough is enough.
Our concert that will take place on June 16, though, is something else. In that one I'll participate. Even though Mum no longer can come to hear us, to the great regret of us both.
