Multitasking

Last weekend I programmed the TiVo to record some shows and then I never sat down to watch any of them. For some reason I think I ought to—maybe because I’m paying the subscription for TiVo. But I never got around to sitting down to watch any television this week and so, today, I thought that would be a good plan. But sitting in front of the television in the middle of the day seems kind of decadent and I can still hear my mother saying that productive people don’t watch television in the middle of the afternoon (unless it’s baseball!). She did have her priorities, after all.

Then I had an idea. I’ve been putting off a pedicure. And since I was also freezing (and am stingy with my wood supply), the idea of soaking my frozen toes in a bath of hot water sounded oh so appealing. Three birds with one stone. So that’s what I did. My toesies are now just lovely little things and I’m warm and I caught up with some television. I *can* multitask.

What I watched:
Battlestar Galactica
Shark
Men in Trees

What’s left:
Stargate SG1
CSI (Las Vegas edition)
Keith Olbermann
Daily Show
Lost

When baseball is over, House and Bones will also come back. Stress!
