The Point of No Return

Yesterday I was not feeling well AT ALL. I'll spare you the details but I ended up catching the same stomach bug that Lynnea had on Sunday. As I was scrolling through channels almost entirely convinced this would be the last episode of anything I watch before my imminent demise, I realized that there was absolutely nothing good to to view a Tuesday afternoon. And why would there be? Everyone knows that all people everywhere have the exact same 9-5 work schedule. Night-shifts are a myth and stay at home moms are far too busy to ever watch tv. And like my father always said, "If you're too sick to go to school (or work), you're too sick to watch tv".  So why even bother.......*crickets and awkward silence as the television companies turn away slowly pretending they never read this*...... Anyway, I did have the season 2 finale of Penny Dreadful but I was in no condition to give it the attention and enthusiasm it deserves so that was out. I couldn't bring myself to re∞- watch yet another episode of 'Friends' so I found myself pushing the buttons for channel 611 (a.k.a. Disney Junior). This wasn't like those other instances where I find myself quoting along to 'Sofia the First' when Brannon is having a nap or drinking my morning coffee entranced by 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'. No. This was a conscious decision. I actually said to myself,"I would rather watch anything on Disney Junior (excluding 'Henry Hugglemonster' which I hate with every fiber of my being) than watch any of this other crap. So there I was, barely conscious, watching 'Doc McStuffins'. This is one illness from which I doubt I'll ever recover.
