Warning: don't try to fit too much

In my quest to fit within a foreign environment I have burnt myself in the last two weeks.

I am a father of twins and this means lots of energy are spent in thinking, doing, and overcoming anxieties.

On top of that I wanted to be a DIY father so I took on a few chores involving painting, filling, cutting and cleaning.

My energy levels were good and I felt I needed to do something about my house.

DIY or Do It Yourself is part of the culture of the environment I live in. 

There are big shops selling DIY materials and tools. Enter one of these shops and you feel that you have to prove your worth. 

So far I have done DIY things only to find that I am exhausted and that I don't like much of it.

I will finish what I can.

Again the superman has taken over me. Pity. 

If there is anything to learn is that I do not need to fit too much into DIY culture at my own expense as a father and as a man.
