Not Watching Today
Mar. 27th, 2021 08:42 amYesterday as the ladies competition concluded, I finally got fed up and turned off the TV. As the evening arrived with news of a COVID case within the bubble, I even cancelled my subscription to Peacock Premium; what a waste of money that turned out to mostly be. I'm not watching any skating today, or tomorrow. I don't even know how much I'll watch next season. Really, I'm hoping we'll be out of quarantine by then, which means I will have better things to do with my weekends than sit inside and watch skating.
I've chosen to deliberately walk away from things I've been obsessed with before. It wasn't easy emotionally, and I'm still not sure I really want to do it completely. But at the very least, I'm going to detach a great deal.
It's been a crummy week all together, of course. If the Republicans get away with what they're doing in Georgia-and I honestly don't see any way left to stop them-then all that's happened is we're just going to lose our democracy later instead of sooner. At this point I want to be vaccinated and see everyone else vaccinated just because that time we have left to enjoy that I hoped for last year will probably be next year instead, so the sooner we can get out, the better.
