Ok, this is my first blog...ever. It's about midnight and I can't believe I'm actually awake at this time, although it could have something to do with the fact I didn't get my arse out of bed until 3pm today. The only thing I accomplished today was making dinner and shaving my legs. Yes, I know that last one is a very odd thing to say, but I haven't been able to shave my legs since the accident 2 months ago and my legs were looking very ape-ish; so it was a big feat for me today. As for everything else I had planned on doing (ie grocery shopping, finish "Pillars of the Earth", dust..etc) did not happend. I had every intention but the TV was calling my name. I sit in front of that thing too damn long and am wasting so much of my life watching, immersing and living vicariously through the plots and characters when I know I could have a perfectly good life if I just took a step out that door or picked up the phone to call a friend.
I guess I have always been like this, but these last two months have been worse since the accident...and I know a good portion of it is that the accident is a good excuse to not to do things...which makes me feel even worse. Too bad they haven't come out with a cattle prod that you can use on humans...not a stun gun... to get people off their arses and moving. I would so benefit from that negative reinforcement. Is that wrong? lol.
Anyway, I'm not going to write too much more tonight. I'm glad the three of us can do this. It's weird to think but the two of you know me better than anyone else, even my parents and sister. Well, Buenas Noches for now :)

Girl, I too count making dinner and shaving legs as "accomplishments", so no need to justify there! Hehe. My dinners, more often than not, consist of something from a box in my freezer that I throw in the microwave.
ReplyDeleteAnd when that human cattle prod is invented... sign me up.
On the TV thing... I also struggle with spending too much time, escaping the boredom of my own life with the drama of fictional characters on tv. But I've done a few things to help myself cut down, at least. First, there's no tv in my bedroom. Second, I started using my DVR for just about everything. This way instead of mindlessly sitting for hours, I watch things I deliberately recorded and wanted to see. And I can skip the commercials as a bonus. Don't know if that could work, but it helps me at least reign in the hours I spend sitting there on the couch.
Love you, girl! I'm glad we can do this, too. This is the kind of thing girlfriends are for - even from over a thousand miles away.
