The Trials and Tribulations of Daytime Television

Hi, everybody! I hope you are all doing well, and I am looking forward to getting back into a more regular blog schedule sometime soon (including seeing what's new with all of you!). I am definitely feeling stronger each day - I am no longer using the cane while in the house, I am showering on my own, and all gastrointestinal systems are back to normal (thank goodness.... oy!). As I mentioned, it is so amazing to actually be IMPROVING, following the past three years of steady decline in physical wellbeing and quality of life. The way I see it - in March, I turn 30, and it will truly be the start of a new chapter of my life. Woohoo!

I can't honestly remember the last time that I was home for this many days in a row (college winter break? No, even then I had a job). I am slowly being sucked into the roller coaster that is daytime tv. For instance, I have never watched Project Runway before, in my life. So, what did I wind up doing all day yesterday? Watching a marathon of the first season on Bravo. Granted, I slept on and off throughout the six hour block, but - PHEW! That sure took a lot out of me ;) Watching tv for so long is HARD WORK! Add in Ellen, Family Feud, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, various news programs, Biography Channel, etc.... there's so much!

But, it hasn't all been television... I have had some very nice visits from friends, including an awesome "Singstar Pop" duel with Sarene. Today, I hope to go out to lunch with a friend of mine who promises to take me to a quaint Scottish area here in Jersey. It will be nice to get some fresh air, though I am honesty concerned about sitting too long. I will have to really watch the clock and change positions as often as possible.

Well, that's all for now. What do you get "sucked into" n the television when you have the day off?
