Good Friday Potato

It's Good Friday, so a lot of places are closed today. Plus Andrew was in too much pain to go anywhere fun anyway, so getting out of the house didn't happen.

These days, I don't do well being home for periods of time.  I don't know if it's ADD, ADHD, PMS or some other acronym, but I get bored easily (just ask my husband) but it's generally not the kind of boredom that says "hey, let's go work in the garden, or go for a walk, or play the guitar, or clean the house" or some other creative or useful endevour. It's the kind that leads to staring at the pantry & refrigerator shelves, watching stupid TV, lurking around FB and eventually writing a blog post. 

HAHAHAHA and you're reading it.

Last night & today have been House Potato days.  I suppose someone might say, don't be too hard on yourself, everyone needs down time.  But there's a different between down time, and digging the hole deeper time.   At least I think so.  Obviously being down on myself won't help, and at least if I'm typing this blog, I'm not raiding the kitchen.

But I actually have some bits of time I've actually enjoyed.  I started reading a new book, attempted to play on the freebie keyboard that Andrew cleaned up for me, mulled some wine (and drank it), read & watched some interesting stuff on the internet (and not just cute kitty antics either - althought the cat and the blimp was pretty funny), watched the space station go overhead in the cold outdoors and admired a gorgeous moon (last night), helped out a friend, and attempted to reconvince the neighbours cat that our yard is not a bad place despite my husband's best efforts to have loud noises and scary machines.

Not having kids or pets at the moment, I can't tell you what crazy or insane or cute things they are doing.   Hopefully yours are doing something to keep you entertained or at least interested (in a good way).

Enjoy your time off, and do some Epic Shit stuff this weekend.  Even if it's as simple as giving House Potato a hug of appreciation.
