Catching Up

I can admit it freely, I have a television addiction. I wasted all of Saturday "catching up" on television shows, movies, reruns, you name it. Instead of catching up in a real way on my housework, knitting, writing, exercising, friends, family, I caught up with Twin Peaks, The Office, Little Shop of Horrors, Sweet Charity (I was in a particularly gay-man place yesterday). I watched and watched and watched until I fell asleep on the couch.

An expected side-effect of this numbing day in front of the television is my voracious overeating. My diet has been totally derailed for 2 days. I ate Dominos and delivery from the local diner. Of course, this also derails my radical saving practices that I have in place for the next 2 months. Spent what I would for half a week of groceries on two meals. Its lentils and couscous tonight kid!

Today is different. I started the day with an hour of just thinking in bed, putting on some Erykah, and vegging. I'm still in that place right now, but my TV hasn't been turned on yet, and I am actually writing a blog - for good, bad or indifferent, its being written. I am going to practice tarot, my newest muse, and try to knock out this scarf I've been working on for myself since Christmas. Perhaps I will clean out my room which, in turn, could clean out my mind and give me some sort of focus.

I will try to blog daily. Wouldn't that be an interesting turn of events! The more you do the more you unblock.

Next post will be less self loathing.
