Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
Having to do something all the time. If I am awake, I feel like I have to be moving around. The theme "Idle hands are the devil's workshop" was ingrained in my head as a child.
At first I thought fabrics as for some reason I have been obsessed with buying them during the lockdowns. However really it's the laptop as I use it to buy the fabrics now we can't go shopping or go to church, meet family and friends and so many other things.

ReplyDeleteI have lots of obsessions but my hunt for beauty probably underpins them all. And yes, I grew up with that phrase too.
ReplyDeleteYou do a fantastic job of finding beauty in this world!
DeletePerfection or nothing! I am saddened at how many times I did not do what I wanted because it would not be perfect.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my son-in-law and he has turned my daughter into a perfectionist. There is nothing wrong with that.
DeleteTrying to stay one step ahead of any possible disaster. I am always prepared.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have possible disaster around every corner.
DeletePrivacy...my own company...not having people knocking on my door! :)
ReplyDeleteI do not like strangers knocking on my door and often I don't like people I know knocking on my door.
DeleteI agree with Lee, but my passion for music has been my life time obsession.
ReplyDeleteWe all know and love your passion for music.
DeleteMercy but how do you pick one thing!
ReplyDeletePrivacy, like Lee, but also books and dvds.
ReplyDeleteI love my free audio books downloaded from the library.
DeleteAt this stage of life-- meeting the challenge of a photo that calls out for some fixing... Also my music (classical).
ReplyDeleteI am happy that my maternal grandfather taught me a love for classical music.
DeleteBirds, birds and birds, and books about birds, and feathers!
ReplyDeleteSo David, do you like birds? LOL

ReplyDeleteYou defined the perfect link to everything...our laptops!
DeleteReading is my greatest obsession. I fit in time to read every day. I've been obsessed since childhood.
