There is too much going on.

"Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose -- a point which the soul may fix its intellectual eye."
~ Mary Shelley

Life is incredibly busy lately. It is usually...but lately...wow. Sometimes I stop and think, how do I do this? How do I wake up and handle all this stuff and go to bed, wake up and do it all over again? I don't know. I do because I must. Yesterday I was councelling one of my co-workers on the pros and cons of cat-ownership. Single guy, no cares in this world. I said, "do you own a houseplant and is it still living?" "If the answer is yes, then you are ready for a pet." Its the natural progression, plant, pet, spouse, child.
