I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a Capricorn, but I think I have a fairly good relationship with the passage of time. I know that, no matter what I'm waiting for, nothing I do is going to make time move any faster. A minute is still a minute, an hour is still an hour, a day, a month, a year, is still a day, a month, a year, and that time will pass the same when I'm waiting for something as for when I'm not waiting for something.

Yes, it is better when I have stuff to do, but I always have stuff to do. Work, cleaning, now there's school stuff, I have had this lifelong distraction - for the past 20 years I've been writing about herbs. I grab an herb book & a pad of paper & a pen, & start taking notes. I've got so many unread herb books on my shelves... I read really fast, but if I'm taking notes on something, it slows me down. A book that may only take me a couple of days to read can stretch out to a month if I'm taking notes & doing sketches. I color a lot, too, and do jigsaw puzzles, and crossword puzzles.

While I'm waiting for something, I never feel like I'm 'wasting' time - I'm learning new things, I'm being creative in some small form, I'm exercising my brain. And sometimes, when I don't have anything to do while I'm waiting, I can just stand there & feel like, "Wow! This is great! I have absolutely nothing to do except stand here, relax & breathe deeply!" - and I'm annoying the impatient people in line behind me as a bonus.
