When we were kids, we played games like Hide-n-seek. Tag, you’re IT! Nobody wanted to be IT. All the running, and chasing, and the people you wanted to catch were juuuuuuust beyond your reach. OH! Almost had ‘em!.... Run to the left, around the tree, do a little back and forth number around the trash can… You know the one, were you go left, and they go right to get away, so you both stop, then you go right, and they go left…. Yeah… Those are good times when you’re a kid!
As an adult? Not so much. The game I seem to play these days is Catch-Up. Catch-up the laundry. Catch-up the bills. Catch-up on some sleep. Catch-up on my reading for school. Doctor’s appointments, medication refills, homework, phone calls to return. Always playing catch-up, never ahead of the game.
I’m always IT.
