Series Manager Update

     I am not whining about being ill...I am simply explaining why these few posts have been incredibly boring.  At one point I thought sinus medicine was all I could mention.  Reading and writing have been out of the question. (psssst...I'm writing these posts days later because I can finally focus on a computer screen.)
    Naps have been regular.  Cups of tea abundant.  Pillow flips for sides of coolness necessary. 

    All of this quiet, strange sleeping patterns and sinus pills can lead to a haze.  Odd dreams.  I've had some of my best dreams this week.  What actually made me laugh though was a little moment that I experienced.  I woke up in between snoozes to see Days of Our Lives on the screen.  The same sisters were fighting with the same "boys"... just as they were the last time I saw this show.  IN 1993!!!!  19 years later and the same %&#*ing storyline???? Really? It took me a second to even realize.  Somewhere between the feverish fog and a time warp to my college days I was very confused.  It was in that moment that I sat up straight with a huge awakening.  In a flash...a decade...or two...can fly by.  If you don't grow up, move forward, change...you are as stale as a soap opera from the 90's.  I sat up and busted out the remote.  I clicked on the Series Manager and deleted things I no longer need to record.  I adjusted lists for my new tastes.  Found some new stuff.  Let go of some outdated choices.  I then saw this as a huge metaphor for my life.  The next round of changes is brewing in me like a fresh pot of java.  I am worn, weary and tired all over again and for different reasons.  Change is in order.  And maybe just maybe I'll save myself from wasting time.  I will learn now... before it is too late... that if I should wake in a decade from a sick nap...Chuck and Blair probably will still be doing their love dance on Gossip Girl so maybe I don't need to watch it anymore.  Sorry, Serena you are done.  XOXO.
