I am without computer for the next week (at home at least) and I am thinking of discovering myself in the process.
What would we do without a computer to turn to? Who am I without a computer? Why do I feel so drawn to the computer for "stuff"?
Last night I was the clothing folder, dish washer, soda drinker, Chelsea Handler watcher who went and trained an NFL player's daughter how to play volleyball at 8pm 45 minutes from my house and came home to do housework instead of checking email at 10p. Who does housework happily at 10p at night? I do.
When there is no computer around.
I think I am going to find that I will be more productive in other, completely fulfilling areas of my life after this experiment. I was definitely happier and less stressed last night on my way to bed.
My back felt better since I wasn't in crouching tiger hidden dragon position while typing madly at the keyboard all night.
With my "To Do" list tucked in my bag, it was too difficult to care what was on it when none of it could be completed without a hard drive and motherboard. I was calm.
Tonight will be a test as to whether I will choose to do housework and veg in front of the TV or whether I will turn to my book to close my eyes for me. I think either way, I will feel better.

Ok - so during our 30 minute phone conversation you failed to mention it was an NFL player's daughter!!!!!!! Seriously, Celine - that would have given me something to impress my husband with!
ReplyDeleteI would just shrivel up and cry without my computer. That's why my husband got me internet access on my cell phone. Self-preservation purposes! (Although, can you even read this comment?) ;-)
