Wasted Weekend


Been one of those weekends where I wasn't exactly sick but doing anything requiring movement or any real thinking was just to much trouble. Spent all day Saturday and most of today laying on the living room floor as my wife and daughter binge watched Game of Thrones reruns.  See, my fourteen year old daughter has just within the the last two weekends become interested in the show and my wife talked her into watching the entire series while giving a running commentary on the characters and situations.

Why did I just lay on the floor while my wife and daughter watched a show I don't have much interest in? Good question, but the only possible answer I can give is that while I felt terrible being cooped up in the bedroom just didn't appeal to me. Another reason could be that my wife gives the most amazing lectures on the fictional families and history of that show. And to think she calls me a nerd over what I know about Star Trek.

Whatever the case, somehow I am going to have to drag my sorry ass to work tonight. I've got too much to do and like I said, I don't think I'm really all that sick. Here is some tropical music to enjoy.

That sounds okay. Taking a day to lie around on the floor sounds fine. I mean, I assume you don't spend days on end on the floor...

I still haven't seen Game of Thrones, not having whatever premium rich-people's channel it's on. I'll end up seeing it somehow someday because, well, it seems like the sort of thing someone should see in order to have a working knowledge of pop culture.

Game of thrones I have never seen, don't know anything about it, you lying on the floor while your wife and daughter binge watched it wasn't because you were sick, it was because you had nothing else you really wanted to do and this way you were spending time with them without getting in the middle of their time spent sharing this interest.

Sounds reasonable...Right?

Harry: I really have mixed feelings about Game of Thrones. I will admit that I have enjoyed individual episodes, but then again I've seen more than a few that have bored me to tears. Those types are always the ones that setup some huge battle or revelation about one of the characters. On the other hand, my son got me hooked on HBO West World series.

Jimmy: Pretty much. This is the time of the year where summer seems to have played itself out. On the other hand, without going seriously gross I did spend more time in the bathroom this weekend than I normally do.

Sorry you weren't feeling well. I'm a bit peaked myself today. I had an extremely lazy Saturday my own self. Spent half the day in bed playing on my iPad & the other half in my recliner playing on my iPad. It was bliss :)

We can do nothing. It really is ok. The western world seems to think being busy means successful person. Blech. Sometimes I can sit st my easel and just stare for two hours not even lifting a brush. Other times I sit at my keyboard with words weaving through my brain and yet nothing from my fingers. 2 days later -- I am painting with a furious passion non stop.

I hope you get to feeling better so you can enjoy just laying on the living room floor all day. Lol

I haven't seen any games of thrones. Don't you have a big couch to lay down on or a lazy chair for that matter. The ground is a bit cold isn't it or you must have a thick carpet to lay on. Hope you feel better now

You're not using the right words. It's not called "wasted weekend." It's called "recharging your batteries."
