i've been in a martial arts class / school for over 20 yrs and having a couple of hours a couple of days a week helps, just being able to have "me time" ...
also, whenever i can (like, days when i don't work, or even when i do work, but i have a few hours in the midday before going in) ... i claim a little personal time at the library where i can be away from all of the craziness, claim a couple hours of "me time", and do some writing. i swear that one of these days i'm going to be brave enough to submit some of that stuff and be a published writer. ;)
of course, saying that, i know that "the argument" is going to happen someday between myself and my "father" ... i absolutely know him well enough to know that he's going to rail against things and be the raging heathen that he is, and he's going to tell me to stop chasing pipe dreams 'and get an honest job' ... which i'm doing by working on my teaching certification at a nearby university so that i can have a chance at a good job and take care of myself while i work the part-time job / passion of writing. but he doesn't understand that sort of thing. he's the one who told me about a year or so ago that i needed to "just quit this college nonsense, get a work ethic, and get an honest job" ...
as if getting a college degree, or two degrees like i have done, doesn't require a little bit of work ethic or something ...
