I've been trying to get my house a little more organized, by which I mean organized at all. I still have several boxes from when I moved--the contents have changed a bit, but basically I've just been shuffling random stuff around for almost two years.
So I finally started buying tubs for organization, including one that I've been thinking of my "hobby" tub. Because I did used to have hobbies. I've spent the last ten minutes wistfully looking over my horse's old saddle, bridle, and some random pieces of my grooming kit. He's been dead for four years; they still smell like him. I regret not spending more time with my poor horse; once I started college he pretty much stood around. It makes me cry to think of it, I wish I had been ... better.
Anyway, I used to ride my horse, I used to play my clarinet, I took some guitar lessons for a while, I have a bunch of yarn because I used to (try to) crotchet, I have about six cross-stitches I'll get around to finishing eventually. I have scrapbooking stuff.
I used to do things other than work, sleep, and struggle through classes.
Poor hiring decisions.

You'll get back to this all eventually. I think you're handling it all, very well.
Sara Gruen (Water for Elephants) wrote Riding Lessons and Flying Changes, two horse stories I liked and would recommend. Read in that order.
I don't know, some of that stuff as been languishing for ten years or better. Ah well. I'll get new hobbies. :)
