Why yes, I am a Couch Potato

I‘m in a great mood tonight so I figure I’d make this one a bit less serious. The last one was very tough and I’m not quite ready to tackle Part II of my last blog. Baby steps……

This is my current life……Work (I hate my job….I fix fuck ups all day that grown ass men make. Sorry to the fully capable men that I know really DO exist, I just don’t work with any), come home and jump into my jammies unless I’m feeling like being nakey and then I go nakey. Moving on…..MAYBE eat dinner or just eat junk food (M&M’s, gummy bears, Oreos…..), blog (that’s crazy new but I will do my best to post daily), watch TV (wait for it….), go to sleep, repeat. My weekends consist of sleeping and watching TV and if I’m really wild, I’ll turn off the TV and listen to music (that’s my main passion…..music is my soul!).

I just moved out on my own so this is all new. I’m trying to be a minimalist. I love STUFF but I have but 797 sq. ft. so I can’t have much, but I do have two TV’s. A 55″ in my living room and I have no idea what the size of the one is in the bedroom but it’s sufficient. I purposely did NOT get basic cable because I wanted to not be a couch potato. I have ALWAYS been one….probably since birth. I love a great drama…..I like to cry. Yes, I know, that’s weird, but there’s nothing like a great movie (Me Before You…..holy shit, that one gets me every time!! OOOOOH and Steel Magnolias!!!) or a great TV show (This Is Us…..EVERY episode makes me cry) to give me a good cry. Depending on the day, I could cry at a commercial.

As I type this, I have my screen paused as the show I’m watching is interactive…..that’s right, you get to CHOOSE how the story goes. My youngest daughter told me about it and while I HATE this series (Black Mirror) I told her I would try this. I can’t however, do that and this at the same time so my blog will take precedence over the TV. Yay me! Progress!

I will watch just about anything. I am in mourning over the loss of my beloved Investigation Discovery channel. I will soon forget how to kill someone and get away with it…..dammit; there were so many options. Now, I have what’s called Xfinity Flex. All I have access to now are shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc…..No access to news, which is probably a good thing. My options are now very limited. I am going crazy. I like to read, but I like TV more. I don’t have to think so much. I’ve been here a few weeks and am already debating on what I can give up so I can afford the ridiculously expensive full on cable complete with Investigation Discovery. I’m so much a couch potato that I get winded easily…..like, what the hell is exercise. Currently I have 2,333 steps on the Fitbit that I wear for God only knows why. These people that get 10,000+ steps a day wear me out. Make me want to nap…….and watch TV.
