Lazy day
I’ve had a lazy day today which is pretty stupid of me considering the amount of stuff I have to do around the house. I’ve started doing this really bad thing. When I was going through my anxiety thingy, I would watch TV in bed until I fell asleep so that I didn’t have to hear the stupid thoughts in my head at night. I still sometimes do it now but if there’s a film on really late and I get involved, I say to myself ‘oh go on, watch the whole thing, you don’t have work in the morning’! But I get up when James gets up for work so I am totally shattered if I’ve stayed up watching some stupid film that wasn’t worth watching.
Last night there was a film on with Anna Friel and Michelle Williams called ‘Me Without You’. It was one of those coming-of-age, dysfunctional-teenage-girl-friendship type films which is a genre I enjoy (‘Heavenly Creatures’, ‘All Over Me’, ‘Ghost World’)! It wasn’t all that good and I was falling asleep watching it but I didn’t want to miss it. I had that feeling of having put time and effort into watching it so I had to see it through. I have no idea what time it came on or what time it finished but it felt late and I suffered for it this morning. So I decided to sit on the couch most of the day with my friends Leona Lewis and Hamish Macbeth, and I read lots of baby stuff. Brooooooody.
I did play football outside with Jodie for a while. She’s been very strange for the last couple of days. We’ve decided to start completely ignoring her because, although she’s a really well behaved dog, she has been extremely whiny lately. When she was a puppy, I trained her to tell me when she needed to go outside but she still does it now and I haven’t been able to decide if I want her to keep doing it or not. Well, lately she has been so annoying, asking to go outside just so she can have a sniff around or to bring her football to me. If I don’t let her out she will just pace back and forward in front of me, whining!!! So I got really mad about it and spent all of yesterday totally ignoring her, and eventually she just went to her bed (which she never, ever does) and didn’t come out until I went up and gave her a cuddle. I hope it’s the right thing to do. I want her to do everything when I tell her to, not when she wants to do it. I think that’s the proper pack leader way. I’m just not much of a leader type person.
