Frustrations

Here I am, a weekend off, and I am finding myself unable to relax.  I wanted to get started on my  math course, only to find my password isn't working.  Just a little glitch, but it'll have to wait for Monday to get fixed.  My local pool is down, so I'll have to travel further if I want to go swimming - probably won't though.  My yoga class doesn't start for a couple of weeks.  I have an appointment with a personal trainer this week to start a weight training program, but I might have to cancel it as I now have to take one of my kids to an appointment on the same day.
Last week was the start of routines again, with school and work starting again.  It's the end of our holidays, always a bit of a sad time.
September has always been a bit of a contradiction for me.  It's the start of the new school year, the weather cools down suddenly, fall fashions arrive, the leaves start to fall.  I always find myself wanting to cling on to what's left of our much too short summer, while at the same time I feel a change in the air and a desire to do something different. It's usually rather exciting.
This year, though, I am feeling less excitement than usual.
If anything, I'm feeling impatient, restless.  Frustrated, even.
I am wanting a change, but the changes are coming very slowly.
Hopefully as we get into the regular routines, things will fall into place.  It seems so much of my life is dependent on other people - mostly my kids.  If things go well with them, my life goes smoothly too.
As for right now, I guess I'll just have to catch up on chores so I can have time during the week for my various activities and appointments.
