Im pretty good at multi-tasking. For 16 months, I got up and swam, held a 9-5 job, and then went to school from 6-10 at night. All this to get my massage therapy license. (NOTE: at this point, ive been working on this entry for 20 minutes because i dont have a chunk of time to write it all out at once...) But right now, I am using all my multi-tasking super powers and cutting into the sleep time to accomplish what i feel needs to get done each day. And then at the end of it I only complete a fraction of it and then I want to shouts out with my peeps online, so I end up staying awake even later.
My to-do list is about 15 items long (webcast and non-webcast related). What you dont see at work is me switching furiously between job related issues and personal tasks trying to put out all the fires. Where does this leave me? Proly without sleep until most of the issues that annoy me with the webcast are resolved. But yeah, where's my asst to make phone calls and set up my computers? Where's my asst to get the details for the open water swim events that I need to coach at. where's someone to tend to my calendar and remind me when i need to be at the pool to cover and which one? Can someone call in dinner for me? Because I've been skipping the normal dinner take-out to save $$, and then im too busy/ tired to make dinner at home! (and i love to cook! :( ) Can someone also schedule Dave into my life? We have weekends only as it is, but sometimes I'd like to see on weekdays-- Can someone drive me up to his place on some weeknights so I dont have to take expensive metro north, or wait at Grand Central for an hour wasting time cause i missed the train?

(It's now been 34 minutes since I began this post.)
someone asked me online what I'd like to do: so here, not in any particular order, here you go:
massage (and get massaged! i NEED one!), travel the world, nap (!!), make more plans with friends, learn electic bass and play in a band, learn erhu and play in a cooler band, take more Japanese classes, review Russian by taking classes, coach Masters swimming but also start working with kids on age-group/ senior teams, swim 5-6 days a week, see my boyfriend more (aka, i HATE this long distance relationship!), cook like i used to before I started working so much, garden, go to the park, drink more beer, volunteer at an animal shelter again, do my hair however I want to, meet new and crazy people, and webcast all of it all the time without ever going off the web for a second while not annoying the people around me with my camera. note that working in an office is not included. note that the last item is possibly the most difficult.
note that I never thought I'd be back online streaming again, and Im so happy to be back.

Just read the 'exerpt from your life'.. thanks for the honesty and the peek behind your screen. Reading up on all the bits that you have to do, want to do or should be doing, I realise why I keep coming back to your 'camera'... there's a kinda honesty that I see, that I like. The bigger bits that want to (but shouldnt) fall between the cracks (boyfriend, food, mom) are worrisome although I'm pretty sure you'll find a way to keep them from falling.
Keep up your commitment to all the things that matter to you, Lisa. They are your oxygen, provide you with energy.
Keep at it, keep going... :))
to quote 4 lines by Henley:
"It matters not how strait the gate
how charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul"
take care,
