I hate when Dan’s out of town. I made sure to line up a bunch of things to do this weekend to keep me busy. I’ve realized a few things.

breakfast: chia seeds on a bagel
1) I prefer Dan’s and my routine more than my routine when I’m home alone. And

lunch: shrimp caesar salad
2) Crap begets crap. This goes for everything. Since most of my work has been computer based I’ve done a lot of sitting with crap tv on in the background. The days that I watched procedural crime dramas I felt worse than the days I watched HGTV. I guess both are crap TV, but one may be more infecting than the other. I got nervous before falling asleep on nights I watched crime dramas, but when I spent the day with HGTV in the background I fell asleep quickly and soundly.

dinner: an egg with grits…didn’t want processed crap, so I made this
It’s interesting how impactful what we expose ourselves to really is. We are all realizing how crappy bad food makes us feel (another thing I so valiantly tested out this weekend). I’m just beginning to realize the impact that media has.
I just put this out there as food for thought. I know some people have stronger constitution than I do and can watch scary movies etc without being impacted. I can not.
Can you handle a scary movie?
