different people do different things.

my old man likes the teevee on. like, when he walks into a room, if there is a teevee in that room, he wants it on. when he comes into the house, he will turn on the teevee in the kitchen and keep on moving. he's clearly not watching the teevee - he is not even in the room at all. i don't mind the teevee on, and sometimes i do want it on, but generally, i do not walk into a room & turn it on first-thing. if i am home alone, i am more likely to have it off than on. more likely to be on the computer or reading a book or cleaning the house or something. i like teevee a lot, but i don't mind the thoughts running around in my head when they want to.my old man takes naps. i take naps, too, but i am more likely on the weekend to sleep in. he will get up early and be all like how can you sleep so late?, but then in a few hours, he'll be asleep in the chair. it's all sleep, no matter when you take it. believe me, i am not against naps. i am against mocking someone for sleeping when you will be sleeping yourself in just a little while.my old man likes to go out. now, again, don't get me wrong. i like to go out, too. i like to get dressed up & go out, or even just plop in the car & go for a ride. but, i also like to stay in. and, there are times i would rather stay in. now, my old man will sit around & watch football, but he does not want to spend all day in the house. he has to get out & do something. i am content to shuffle around all day perusing the newspaper, slowly checking items off my to-do list, drinking some more coffee. puttering, they call it. just puttering around. getting things done, but not in any particular hurry. i think my old man gets nervous just thinking he will be in the same building all day long.right now, he's gone off to the gym to work out, and i stayed home to putter. i shall now go putter around the filing cabinet & get some filing done. it's nice to be productive & accomplish something, and it's nice to be able to do it on a flexible timetable.
