When I Say I Am Busy...

When I say I am busy, I am. A friend of mine is not impressed with me, but I really don't have time for much lately, certainly not socialising. I told my friend that straight.
I can't believe it has been 6 or 7 days since I last put out a discussion. I still haven't got the Christmas tree out and decorated. I have been pet sitting, had a not well fur baby and two Uncles in and out of hospital!
There is not enough hours in a day and I am battling lack of sleep. We're already through the first week of December and I am not finding traction!
We've had chilly, rainy weather for summer, rainy is fine, it is our rainy season, the chill is not! How is your December going so far? I wish that troubles would melt away for us all during this season.

Same as with me, many things that needed my flesh and physical body that I cannot make more discussions

I'm so sorry about that. My schedule has been quite busy as well even though I was away on vacation with my family, I still keep getting phone calls from my secretary about work. I know how it is like to be really busy and I know some people just don't get it.

Sorry you are struggling with time
I never have enough time either. Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

If you are busy, it means you are busy, nothing more should be interpreted out of it.
December is going on smoothly and winter has started here, temperatures are likely to dip further in the coming days.

@MALUSE , we get snow on the mountains during winter, but not in my Province. Though we should be in summer about two weeks back we got snow on the mountains, this is very odd weather. So, you'll be having a white Christmas, if the snow lasts. :)

Should we add some more hours onto the day for you, or more days onto the week? Will that help? haha
Sorry to hear you are so busy, and finding it hard to gain traction. Just keep doing the best you can, but don't forget to stop and catch your breath every now and then!

@bluesa Well, when I'm not there, you can have more hours in the day. But, when I come visit, I'm going to give you more days in the week, so that I have longer to visit with you!

I'm so sorry to hear all the reasons why you've been away from myLot. Don't worry about us. Just do what needs doing and we will be here when you can visit. I truly hope your uncles will be okay. Giant hugs to you and know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope your uncles and furbaby are alright. I also hope you find time for sleep... and yourself. It is good you told your friend straight out that you are busy ....
Don't be afraid to say no to people/offers when possible. Never enough time.

@FayeHazel thanks. I know it isn't always easy to say No, but sometimes we don't have an option.
