Abracadbra!

I need magic spell, or a Time-Turner like Hermione has in the Harry Potter movie so I can get everything done.
I was talking with my dad today and he seems to think I have superhuman powers....I must have, how else could I fit it all in?
So lets do a breakdown
There are 24 hrs in a day.
It is a 45min drive from my new home to work - door to door. Lets say an hour from door to seeing my first patient of the day.
I need an hour to get ready for ready work.
I work for 10 hrs...not including overtime......usually 1-2hrs /day so lets say 1.5
Give me an hour after I get home to unwind, say hello to the dog, check my email / Facebook / mail / think about dinner / talk to my man-freind  and make a list of all the things I need to do tomorrow.
I need 8 hrs sleep or I'm grumpy and difficult to get along with.
So far...2+1+10+1.5+1+8 = 23.5
And I haven't trained, seen or spoken to my friends, done housework, looked up all the things at work I made a list to read about so I don't suck the next day....and I certainly haven't had time to stop and relax!
So how do I get it all done my dad asks??
NO IDEA!
But it is now past midnight and I have to leave home at 6am to be on time for work....something has to give I guess.
The dog might not get exercised, there will be takeaway dinners, often it will be my relationship; my friendships and social life; my studies; my duties as a mother; the training I need to do to reach my Ironman goal; and my family that will suffer.....and sometimes....it will be sleep.
Goodnight.
xoxo

  1. The life of an intern! Glad that is a distant memory. Interesting to hear that you work overtime...no such thing here.
