Falling behind

scrottie thinks of me as an extrovert, and I suppose that if one considers extroversion/introversion as a spectrum instead of a dichotomy, I'm much more extroverted than he is. At the same time, the intensity of a family member's visit is catching up with me and producing a sense of anxiousness over falling behind on things. Yesterday, as we drove back from a daytrip to Austin (mostly spent at Barton Springs, ahhh!), we had a bit of respite and I got to enjoy just looking out of the window as the countryside flew by, letting my mind wander over the subject of traveling and life priorities.
I didn't come up with anything magical or transformative, in case you're wondering.
Anyway, the sense of falling behind is still there, even though I'm not sure of exactly what I'm falling behind on. Having visitors can be both wonderful and draining, and I'm grateful that in the very least I'm not in the middle of frantically trying to get a whole lot of work/projects done, as that would make it even more challenging to be attentive to others. Altogether, though, I'm looking forward to just having a few quiet days, both as this visit wraps up and as S heads out to Austin for a conference for a couple of days.
