Day Twenty-One, 2025

 Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

Has a nice ring to it, sounds spicy and a touch rebellious.

Fact is much less entertaining than fiction as usual though.  Not quite sure how to bump my brain out of this loop.  Also, why is every episode the length of a movie ffs?.

Do I ever tell myself, I'll just watch one more movie and then I'll go to bed?  I seriously need a lingo switch because I really did want to be in bed an hour ago - but it felt like 10 minutes have gone by and now my eyes are heavy, mouth is dry, this blanket feels like it must weigh a thousand pounds (plus, baby it's COLD on the other side of this blanket).  

Don't even get me started on how the two minutes I should spend brushing my teeth has me filled with dread.  Flossing will not likely occur & you don't have to taste this mouth in the morning or be honest with a hygienist in 4 months so don't judge me - I'll deal with the cards I choose from the deck.

Did I mention that I get to type this which keeps me warm longer.  Delays the dishwasher load (and adjust), soul dog pee run, paw wipe & water glass fill.

SO MANY THINGS.... and now I can't watch another movie because some jerk turned off the tv.

In my head there's a voice saying it doesn't have to be this way & LET ME LOVE YOU!!!  You should know better & are you addicted to screens?  While a tiny voice says I Choose My Own Adventure lady - no one's the boss of me!  Except that tiny con-woman voice has won.

I need to woman up to win this, that will only happen one night at a time.

Walk Daily, Screens OFF by 10pm is the action for the rest of this month - Yes, even on Friday & Saturday

I'm the boss.
