What is it with all these people who think the world owes them a living? "I didn't ask to be born" is a favourite thing for them to say. I would LOVE to reply with "and I almost wish you hadn't been", but I am just too civilised to say it. Cant stop me thinking it though.
Had a rather stupid conversation with someone over the phone today. How did I like my life of leisure? WHAT leisure? Okay, I dont go out to work, I cant. I have been told not to by my doctor. But that doesn't mean I sit around doing nothing all day. I have a husband to care for, and five dogs who all need grooming, and walking, and feeding, and playing with, and training every day! Then I have the housework to do. You think it does itself? Who do you think I am? Mary Poppins?
Yes, I try to get everything done quickly so I can have some time on the computer, but I do have other things to do. And anyway, being at home all day isn't always that much fun. I dont see anyone unless they come round to my house. I dont go anywhere. I cant afford to. I am in danger of becoming a recluse. My people skills are one step up from dead right now. And that is not good. I cant keep retreating inside myslef. It just wont work. I have to venture out SOMETIMES.
I have started re-reading Stephen Kings The Dark Tower Series. And I am really enjoying it.
I read pretty quickly, so I can finish a paperback in a day easily. Hardbacks take me a couple of hours longer sometimes. I end up with aching wrists from holding the book.
I wonder what the people I once knew are doing now. When I was young, I had a great group of friends, but I dont know where any of them are now. Strange, how they just jumped into my mind then.
Oh well. I suppose I had better go and do something leisurely, like walk the dogs.
