Gratitude Helps, but Something's Got to Give

When there's no time to actually be in the studio, I have a chance to brainstorm ideas to put into practice when I do get around to it. That's the nice thing about working a mindless job. And, if household chores are getting done, nobody really complains.

That being said, it gets frustrating when a few days (or more) go by in which I don't have time, or am just too tired to enjoy my hobby. Eventually, I have to pull an all-nighter just to get my latest project halfway done. I'm not complaining, of course. I've had nearly four solid hours of sleep, and my tape doesn't sound too bad.
