Some math

[indigo_rose99]

I wrote down some math to get a perspective on why I've been feeling behind at everything. This is a week. Let me start by reminding you that there are only 24x7=168 hours in a week.

• 40 hours working


• (if NM) 22 hour drive to NM


• 56 hours (=8x7) hours sleep


• (if NM) 21 hours dealing with my brother and my brother's tasks in person. No, this does not include time spent sleeping or eating.


• 15 hours (= 3x5) phone calls and IMs and tasks with respect to my brother and his estate


• 10.5 hours (=1.5x7) prepare for sleep rituals. I'm an insomniac. It takes a while.


• 10.5 hours (=0.5x3x7) prepare food and eat. Yeah, 30 minutes to prepare and eat each meal seems a little short.


• 9 hours time with husband


• 2 hours time with friends


• 3 hours house maintenance, laundry, lawn care, dishes, mail, pay bills


• 6 hours working out at the gym


• 7 hours showering and related rituals

By my math, this is 159 hours if we are not going to NM. Doable.

If we go to NM in a week, this is 159+22+21 = 202. Not possible.
