Loser

Okay. I am officially a loser. It is a holiday weekend and I am sitting home alone on the computer! What is wrong with this picture?
I spent my Saturday night sitting in front of my TV watching Forensic Files. I called numerous people (who apparently have lives) to see if I could find someone to hang with, only to find they weren't at home. (Yes, I already figured out that is because they have a life and I don't.) I spend my holiday weekend working. What really sucks the most is that in all actuality, only about two hours was spent actually working. However, those two hours prevented me from going to the cabin and visiting with Captain Morgan.
I am a double loser because not only am I home alone, but I am a lazy bum. Some would take the opportunity of being home alone to get something done around the house. I could be cleaning my sty (which used to be my home), doing laundry (the song Ain't No Mountain High Enough keeps running through my head) or planting the plants that heve been sitting on my porch since mid-April. But no. I have been vegetating in front of the TV (does that count as planting something?. Oh, and throwing myself a pity party.
All this alone time has given me time to ponder...
Everything in life is about perspective. For example, today I am throwing myself a pity party, feeling lonely. Most of the time, I really enjoy my own company (I mean who wouldn't enjoy hanging out with me? Ha. Ha.) But, it's all about perspective. Another example: My daughter recently graduated from college. At a get-together after graduation, I overheard one of her friends asking her what she was going to do now. Her reply? She laughed and said, "I am just going to live with the roommates I had in high school." Now that's perspective. Some people would think, "Man, I'm an adult child moving back in with my parents and living in their basement." What a great perspective!! Actually I'm kidding. Having my daughter live with us again has been nothing but a joy. I have really missed her the last four years and am relishing the fact that she's back, if only temporarily.
Actually, my perspective is brightening just thinking about hers. I may just get up and do something constructive!
