What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

Though a lot of people disagree with this statement, I really don’t have time for fun. For as long as I can remember, my life has become about working against the clock to coincide with times for my staff to come in and do my care, ETC. Other times, I’m waiting for a bus that is overly late or trying to call people and getting no answer. However, everybody seems to think that I can do what I want when I want since I do not work but lately I have realized that this is not the case. Not a moment goes by during my day where time is not a factor, whether this is how long I have to complete something before the next thing happen or realizing that someone is later than they said they were going to be, ETC. Pretty much, my whole life is dependent on that clock and I actually wish it wasn’t. What makes matters worse is that there’s no aspect of my life where I can just sit and relax. I’ve been trying to watch a movie that a friend told me about over a week ago and I get so tired at the end of the day that I don’t have enough energy to do so. For those of you who are wondering what movie this is, it’s called “Dear Santa” and I know it’s with Jack Black. Given that it’s almost Christmas, I keep saying I will start watching those kinds of movies but I never seem to have enough energy. I think what I really need is a day to just be in my pajamas. Not go anywhere, not do anything, (this would eliminate the stress of waiting for a late bus,) but a day where I can just sit back and relax and not have to worry about anything. As a matter of fact, this type of day is desired to the point where it has caused me anxiety when I don’t get to do it and despite me wanting to start this months and even years ago, I have not to this point hence I have not had a day without anxiety in a while. So I really don ‘t have time for play or to relax. Having said that though, I do get some relaxation when I sleep.
