Cabin Fever

AAACKK is right! I have got to get the heck out of here! I mean really... OK so the month and a half has gone really quickly since my surgery but sitting on the love seat getting really grumpy at the dismal choice of TV shows my cable company happily overcharges me for has really gotten old. The most exciting flicks I have watched in the last week were from my DVD collection ~ or from the library. OMG - one was The Land of the Lost movie. That was hysterical, glad I had my staples out or those things would have shot across the living room as I laughed so hard. A clever T-Rex!

Really, ask yourself this: how many times can you watch the same show on the 'On Demand' channels?! Twice and then it's like put some darn new ones up already (this is from experience...) Uugh. Paranormal documentaries are no fun the second time around. Sorry there's no ghost in this room, and not that one either. You folks are going home with nothing this show, saw it last night.... Sigh. Even the ghosts are bored.


I want to go back to work. It's not like I want to work, I mean personally I'd rather be out on a ginormous yacht taking sun in the Mediterranean while someone serves me dinner and cocktails with frilly little umbrellas in them. BUT at least while I'm at work, I can be around people much more miserable than myself. My job, like most, comes with so much entertaining drama. Utter silliness, I have flashbacks to grade school way too often there.

And what's even worse, all this sitting around healing. And eating. And watching TV. And reading. And eating. They took a huge mass out of me and yet I PUT ON SOME WEIGHT. That's how that works for me. I figured out that there was this newly created empty space so I had to put food there and quickly. Not thinking that maybe some vital organs needed to go back to where they belonged? I'm just thinking here.

OMG it is time to get out among the living and be active and vibrant again. OK maybe 'vibrant' is pushing it a little but you get the picture. Like the great philosophers The Muppets once sang in their film classic "Treasure Island" ~ "Cabin fever has grabbed us all aboard, this once proud vessel has become a floating psycho ward. We were sailing, sailing heading who knows where, and now though we're all here, we're not all there." Makes you think, doesn't it?

Yeah, it makes you think that I really do need to get out of this house or at least step away from the computer, no?!

The Muppets searching for their sanity also...
