Half an hour.
30 minutes.
1800 seconds.
It seems that everything I do happens in increments that do not exceed this length.

Time it takes to get ready for swimming lessons after breakfast.
Length of swimming lessons.
How long we have between the end of swimming lessons and the start of story time at the library.
Story time at the library lasts how long.
How long it takes to make, eat and clean up lunch.
Length of one episode of Olivia on Nick Jr. (also known as Mommy’s Quiet Time)?

You get the idea.

And yet, how long has it taken me to write this short, simple post?

About three times as long as it takes me to do everything else.
