I Have This Thing for You

My dreams are boring me lately. It's all about work. I'm doing my To Do list in my sleep. Sometimes I wake up thinking how glad I am to be done with that...when I'm not actually done with anything at all.

It seems my life has become a list of "Have to Do" and less of what I want to do. I feel guilty for blogging and watching a movie on a sunny Sunday when I should be gardening, running, walking the dog, cleaning, getting my car looked at...to the point where even the things I want to do feel like things on a To Do list. Hanging out with friends, planning a vacation to Europe, shopping for anything other than groceries - just another check on the list.

You'd think my dreams would be the one place I could truly escape it all and take a little mental break. A little flying or beach time or something outside of spreadsheets and deadlines? No such luck.

I might as well stay awake.
