Basket Case


Yes, there is too much on my plate...literally and figuratively. I am on the very brink of so many things here and just don't know where my focus should go. I know without question that it can't be evenly distributed...I'm just not made that way. Oh, sure I can multi-task at work but when it comes to my personal life, it's just easier for me to place all my eggs in one basket, shall we say.

#1 - Post-bankruptcy, I really need to work on creating a realistic, livable budget and stop living outside of my means. I do believe that's what got me into this fine mess in the first place. So, my financial life should be taking up a large part of my time and efforts just so I can get back on track here with things.

#2 - I am also itching to start dating again and have dipped my feet in several on-line services, merely taking advantage of the free trial periods before I decide which, if any, I want to pay to use. The whole concept rather irks me and adds a whole new dimension to the desperation factor, but I guess it is what it is.

#3 - The dating thing is somewhat on the backburner because I also really want to lose weight and just don't feel that happy with myself, which makes me question whether I should really be concentrating on the dating thing.


So, therefore I don't really know where to put my eggs, so to speak...since they really are most comfortable when all in the same basket. And let's face it...at this stage in my life, I really need to keep the eggs happy since my hope is that someday they'll return the favor!
