I need a day stretcher

Seriously... days need to be longer. When I do the gym thing, by the time I get home and eat dinner, relax a bit, it's bed time. That doesn't leave much time for practicing, or a second job. Ideally, I'd love to have music be my second job, but right now I'm not good enough for that, and finding time to practice is tough. I'm also noticing myself practicing the same stuff over and over again, which is good if that's all I want to do, but my practice should involve NEW elements, so I actually do get better. Like working on my scales, more finger exercises, learning the fretboard in and out, but I keep falling back to changing major and minor chords, because I know them. It doesn't involve me pulling out a book and teaching myself new stuff. Finding some more people to play with who I can learn from would help too, but that also requires having free time, and money for gas to get places. Bah, I guess today is just a bitching mood kind of day. On the plus side, I did have a great vacation, kinda sucked to have to come back to being busy all the time again.
