Dying

I am just starting on some new dying experiments. Thanks to Chittle Chattle  I have everything ready and I had planned to start today but I went out this afternoon to visit a stitching friend that I haven't seen for a while. It was great to catch up and she gave me some beautiful purple lepidolite earings. I must take a photo and share their beauty with you. 
Then I fell asleep while watching a video and trying to do some of my crochet lap blanket. This evening has been spent catching up with me emails, reading blogs etc and now it's time to go to bed where has the time gone? 
Does anyone else have this problem? As I get older there is so much to do, so much I want to do and the days go by faster and faster.
