On the edge of a cliff-hanger
When I come off of a long day, whether it be from work or working on projects or cleaning up around the house, I tend to be a creature of habit. I take to my chair, maybe pull out my crochet and I find something to watch.
I know, I could probably find something better to do with my time instead of sitting and staring at yet another screen, but it helps me escape for awhile and it’s highly effective.
Recently, I’ve noticed an interesting trend keeps happening, a phenomena which I really can’t explain aside from saying it’s just my luck.
I’ll sit down for an episode or so, and around the time I decide I should head for the bed, boom. There it is. That episode that ends leaving you wondering what could possibly happen next. How are those characters going to get out of the mess this time. Who lives, who dies, who’s breaking up with who.
I don’t know how it happens, but it seems to happen more times than not. Or maybe it has happened longer than I thought and I’m just now noticing it more. Always right when I decide to turn it off for the night and go to sleep, I get stuck with the decision. Do I leave it there, or do I go for just one more?
First of all, how dare I be left with that decision? Continue to enjoy escaping from the world a little and see what happens or wait until the next chance I can to catch the next episode and be a responsible adult with control. Go and get my eight hours or so.
I pay bills, taxes. I’m even slowly learning how insurance works, dang it.
Plot twist, I’ve never been the best with control when it comes to media I like to consume. So I guess I’ll just continue to suffer at the hands of my streaming subscriptions. I’ll keep sleeping in the bed that I made (except not actually sleeping and being in a chair and not a bed... you get the point.)
