Rambling Reader: If I Could Save Time in a Bottle

Dude. Last year at this time, I'd read almost 10 books. I got 15 in for the entire month.This year I'll be happy if I reach 10 books for January. The fact that I have 5 already read it boggling to me.Why?Well, because there doesn't seem to be any TIME for me to read this year. There's no time for me to do anything right now. I'm trying to cook meals (versus buying them, to save money and be healthier) I am trying to get all my work (real job) done. Traveling to work (can't read on the bus because of severe motion sickness), chores around the house, trying to remember to EAT lunch and dinner. Where is the time going? Where has it gone?Is 2012 the year that time just vanishes into thin air? Maybe that end of the world nonsense* isn't going to be an apocalypse, just the fact that time has mysteriously vanished and we just, I don't know, vanish along with it.When I do get to read, it's in small doses, hardly enough to even get into and enjoy the book I am reading. Then there's the problem of trying to find time to BLOG about the book. Let's not even add blogging on my personal blog (which I do for fun and love to do) and then the vlogging I am now doing.Time management be damned! I have no idea where time is going, there's certainly not enough of it in a day - especially at my office. I don't even have enough time around me to try and manage it.Time is just evaporating into thin air!Shouldn't this be considered some sort of State of Emergency? I'd think so. I mean, people need to be aware of these sorts of things! If time is just slipping away like this, we should be warned! There should be contingency plans! THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD NEED TO ACT ON THIS!Or, someone needs to take this idea and write a book about it with a lovely dedication to ME and, you know, royalty cheques.Of course they'd have to do this quickly what with the VANISHING TIME. Who knows when time will run out.
