I am so tired. I work full time and then I volunteer almost full time and then I hang out with friends, but it just seems like more work, even though my friends are great. Kudos to people who work several jobs and go to school. I do not know how you continue on like that.
I am working on what I hope is my final project for 350 Sacramento, but likely it will be a long-term project. In the next two months, I hope to complete the website redesign (you can view my progress at www.hi350sac.wpengine.com). By February 2017, I hope to have training materials completed, and then I will start the long and arduous process of training other folks to edit the website, but my hope is that most of the pages will remain static and they will only have the blog and possibly a handful of variable pages to update.
The work I do is important to me, but it’s hard when 1) I don’t get paid for any of it, 2) it makes me tired all the time because I am working non-stop, and 3) it stops me from making the art I want to make, which drives me crazy. Even just collaborating with friends on art projects is work. I need/want to make comics for a friend’s wedding. I need/want to edit my partner’s book and draw illustrations for it. But it’s so much and I am so tired all the time. Even pleasure reading is a chore that takes away time from getting more work done. There is so much work to be done.
A friend said someone asked them what they did for fun and they didn’t know how to answer that. What do I do for fun? It’s something I have to think about for too long.
