Here we are again

rhyllToday, I'm going to leave the house at 8am. I'm going to spend the day working on my research assistance stuff, and two hours in the evening at greek class. I'm going to cycle around 50km. I'm going to get home at 9:30pm.
This Saturday, pretty much the whole day I was busy with work: a remarkably focused meeting, uploading marks for one unit, background reading and some board moderation for another.
On Sunday, I had a hangover and went to Crafternoon. I also spent the morning doing lesson preparation, and the evening marking and writing up meeting notes.
I think this will be how things are, again. I don't feel bad about it. Firstly, all of this is stuff I want to do: I enjoy, I care about it, I'm willing to stay up past my bedtime working on it. Secondly, I'm pretty sure that life is like this for lots of people do, with the frantic Getting Things Done all over the place.
This weekend wasn't much of a weekend, but I did feel like I used all of my time well. I didn't spend any of my time doing things I regretted later,* like reading stupid stuff on the Internet. I spent time with people I care about, and worked well.
I think that as long as I remember to set aside some time in the week for Sitting Quietly By Myself, I should be fine with this.

* Actually, maybe I could have had fewer ciders.
