Getting back in the game

I've been taking a sort of hiatus from commitments lately. I've been coming home from work, and perfecting the art of being a couch potato. My boyfriend is out rehearsing 5-6 nights a week, so no date nights here. Just me and my TV. Which worked out well for a good couple of months.

And then I realized that I was bored. BORED out of my mind. The highlight of my week was picking up sushi on the way home from work and watching HGTV until I fell asleep on the couch. Can anyone say "loser?" Seriously. Ridiculous.

So I got my butt off the couch, literally and figuratively, and went back to church. Back to service directing, back to Red Ink Productions, back to Big Pix, and I joined a small group. Hm. And my worship arts director wants me to go back to the weekly drama team. Double Hm. I am wavering, trying to decide whether a lot is too much. Is it necessarily a good idea to go from having free nights every night to having no free nights?

This is my perpetual problem with volunteering with the church. I overcommit, burn out, then drop out to recover. I wonder why I can't find a good balance? And does that balance include sleep? Or Top Chef? These are the burning questions of my life at the moment. They are not life-changing, or even that crucial. But they are there, nagging me...
