This was all I could think about too! You're working 12 hours a day and found time to write all of this...or even contemplate it in the first place?? like WOW!
Ha! I did two 12 hour days last week, plus two usual 6 hour days, and Juneteenth off (yay!)... and am slated for 6 hour days (my normal/usual time needs) this week.
I also knew I was going to be working into the evening tonight, so I used early morning for email check-in, then had some afternoon time to catch up with myself before going into work in the afternoon until evening and ran errands on the way home (pick up dinner for us and for our friend who's getting eye surgery tomorrow). I did NOT clean many things and wrote instead. It was GREAT! 5 Stars! Would recommend!
My dad's mother used to frequently say we would do x thing, maybe just sit and talk about x thing, "when the excitement dies down".
"The excitement" was just life. There was always another pregnancy, or recital, or surgery, or something. Like standing in the surf, right where the waves break, one after the other, and trying not to get knocked over.
"When the excitement dies down..." Ha... that sounds like inshalhah, God Willing....
But life will ALWAYS keeping carrying us away (until death does) whether or not we decide what we want to do with our time.... so you might as well CHOOSE what we do with our time, right? Rather than just floating on and wishing? That's MY thinking, at least!

It's funny that I've never heard in the Levantine quadrant my family use that expression; I didn't learn it until I went to Egypt.
