One of the hazards of having so much time to fill is overdoing it. If that involves cooking or baking, you can freeze what you can't eat. But sometimes it just goes to waste. That can also happen if you try something new which it turns out you don't like, of course. Then you don't have the potluck group to suffer through it with you! The old wisdom or sayings about it being harder to cook for 1 or 2 certainly seems true. I try to cut recipes in half but that's harder when it's half an egg.
Other activities can get to be an overload as well. When you're home all the time, it's easy to get caught up in the same thing again and again. Finally, you look up and say - wow, I'm kind of sick of this now! Sewing, anyone? I'm trying to set a more reasonable pace to avoid burnout. Also, I'm running out of thread.
All the projects that I've been putting off over the years are now invading my dreams. Why aren't I working on those? I should be more productive, take advantage of all this time to focus. All these little ducks are following me around, quacking for attention.
What has you on overload these days?
