Bronchitis Bliss...shake it up...Depression with a Twist

At the end of November I came down with Bronchitis for the first time. I had it for four weeks before I returned to work. I worked through the holidays and into the new year. Bronchitis really wore me down and I had a lot of time to think, or watch T.V.

I watched an extreme amount of T.V., Netflix. It was all I could do, other than read. I should have read more, but I just zoned out. I spent so much time watching tube that now I'm addicted. I've recreated an old habit that took me years and years to break. I used to have the T.V. on as background noise while cleaning, talking on the phone, making art, and eating. I took away television from my life all together once I obtained my first apartment years ago. When I married I accepted T.V. into my life again. Now I'm back where I started.

I'm distracted, constantly. I'm ready to take the T.V. away, or at least put it in a corner. I love my studio, but I keep ending up in my main living area and I'm not accomplishing much.

My mission this weekend is completely within reach, but I have to get away from the T.V.!!! It's a new year, and this is NOT how I want it to start.

The depression part of this little revelation is related to how down and out I get when I allow my day to be wasted in a black hole of TUBE! Gotta get out.
