I have totally gotten to the point where I no longer think about television. It is just not a part of my daily routine and has not been for so long that I really don't give much consideration to television anymore whatsoever. That said, today I thought about it for the first time in a very long time. It was just a brief fleeting thought, but I did think about watching television for a few moments today. Today I feel old. My body is tired, worn out really, and my legs are slightly sore from the half marathon I ran last night. So when I started thinking about what I wanted to do after the kids were tucked into bed, I thought that sitting and watching a movie would be nice. I thought it would be relaxing and entertaining and nice. And then I thought, "no Vern you are better than that and you don't have any good movies to watch anyways". Then I thought, "I wish I would have borrowed Office Space from Miranda this weekend. Then I could watch that tonight. That show is really funny." Then I thought "No Vern you are better than that. You are stronger than that and darn it people like you".
Now I am on my way to take a hot bath and head to bed early. Maybe I will try to read more of my book for Book Club, Devil in the White City, although it is off to a slow start and I am struggling to get into it at all. I need to force myself to keep reading, but I so do not want to do that...
