Weekend-Slump

Because I am a couch potato at heart, I like my lazy weekends. It is not always possible, but sometimes I just shove everything away and am lazy. I read, I knit, I play on my computer or my nintendo or paint (by numbers, because I am not THAT creative). At any rate, instead of going to yoga, I stayed home, had a brunch, cleaned up a little in the kitchen, knitted, read, played. It is just great fun.

Now for some people, I suppose - though I do not know - that is a fate worth than strangulation: staying home, seeing nobody, hearing nobody, having no outside contacts at all. For others - like me - it is sheer heaven to stay put.

I do like to go out, too. Occasionally. But I do prefer to stay at home on my days off. And a day off by my definition is a day without people. I get cranky if for a long time I don't get a day entirely to myself. I even had times, when I got a disgust of people and couldn't stand anyone near me.

Which brings me to somehing else I do not like: people getting to close, where it isn't needed. I do see, that in a bus, train or tram or standing in line somewhere, it can't be helped, but where there is space, it should be used. I once sat in a wagon in a train, all alone, meaning, there were a lot of free spaces, when a woman got in and sat herself opposite me. Now: the lady was very friendly looking and maybe she does not like to sit alone or thought, that she would do me a favor. Still, I did not like it, but could hardly get up and sit somewhere else, without being impolite at any rate.

What is it with people, that they want to be close and surrounded by people all the time? In winter, o.k., when it is very cold, it is very good to be close to warm each other, but at other times? Not my idea of idyllic. Well, I will have to live with it or run amok. And I don't like running amok. It is stressful and hurtful to others and it is not other peoples fault that my protective aura has a very wide span...

So back to being an couch potato. I have been already lazy on late Saturday afternoon and didn't write here. So I decided to ament that, since I thought, that some reader might miss my writing. But next year, when I will have to write exams, you will have to live with little  texts anyway. This is the training phase. Enjoy it..
And enjoy the rest of sunday...
