Ok, I know this topic isn't exactly the high brow stuff I usually talk about, but it was on my mind today, so I thought I'd share. Feel free to look up posts on flower arrangements or something if this isn't your cup of tea!
Anyway, I remember being little, barely into double digit age range and talking to my dad about what he was reading. Often said that he was still reading the same book as the last few times I'd asked. When I asked him what was taking so long, he told me that he only read a few pages at a time because he was reading it in the bathroom. 'Ew!' I thought, and probably said aloud because I was not the most discrete child ever. "Well I like to go in, sit down, and then get out!" I think I replied. "I like to concentrate... or not concentrate."
But now? I've joined the ranks of the people who do stuff, other than bathroom stuff, in the bathroom. I hate being caught out doing my business without my phone or kindle. I would scream in frustration when I forget, but I think it might be taken the wrong way by others in the house, and that would just be embarrassing.
I was wondering, as I found myself without my phone or kindle today, why I dislike just not concentrating now. I tell myself that it seems like a waste of time, but really, is a couple minutes a day away from outside stimulation really that bad? Really that detrimental? Perhaps I'm just part of the 'problem generation' that needs to be entertained during every waking second of the day. That would be a bit depressing... but my dad did it before me, so it can't be the generation thing.
So I'm just going to have to leave this blog, still pondering.
Back to our regularly scheduled, non-potty related, information.
