Especially if you're just making it for yourself. <br /><br />Yeah, one of the really good things about being in Japan is that I have to actively choose everything that I want to watch, so I end up being wayyy more selective than I am when I'm in England. I could obviously just watch whats on on Japanese TV, but contrary to the idea that everyone has about Japanese TV being completely insane and weird, most of it is just celebrities talking about other celebrities (and I don't know who any of them are), or people eating food and going "WOW this is so delicious", or them bringing on some kind of cute animal and everyone going "Awwwww!!".. not so interesting.Jimjamjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249933703532348607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-21999205008832620792014-05-18T18:41:21.165+01:002014-05-18T18:41:21.165+01:00Literally...

But ALL THE OTHER STUFF is just evil, but also awesome. I can't deal. Except that I can and will continue to do so haha.<br /><br />I usually feel that years have gone fast, but yeah, not so much this year. I think it's that I want a faster transition from feeling like I've been kicked in the emotions to feeling less like that, but I'm not sure that that's a thing that happens quickly. Well, apparently not, anyway!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-60088973524644877982014-05-18T18:37:20.901+01:002014-05-18T18:37:20.901+01:00I'm soooo lazy about household things (I basic...I'm soooo lazy about household things (I basically only do washing when I run out of pants) but I still need to feed myself every day and that takes time and it's all just time taking up! I would actually say it's worse with housemates because it's like 'people! People to talk to!' and that ALSO just steals time (not that I'm massively complaining about this because I like my housemates most of the time. But STILL.)<br /><br />I believe it is a general thing that parents don't really have any time to themselves haha. I do have quite a lot, really, but I just piss it all away and have nothing to show for it and it annoys me! <br /><br />This is a very very good rule. To be fair to me, I do usually leave my phone upstairs quite a lot, but then I have my ipad with me quite a lot, so I'm just not good. I will say that Tivo has been amazing to my life, because it means that when I'm having my breakfast, say, I can watch something that I actually wanted enough to record, rather than just what's on. It's pretty great.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-19675998371123456922014-05-18T10:22:53.717+01:002014-05-18T10:22:53.717+01:00*fist bumps Laura* *goes back to Candy Crush* Dud...*fist bumps Laura* *goes back to Candy Crush* Dude... I hear ya. Screen time is a HUGE time suck for me. 'Just one more video' on YouTube, 'just one more cute post of GIFs' on Buzzfeed, 'just one more article' on HuffPo, 'just one more try at this level' on Candy Crush... BOOM. Another two hours gone.<br /><br />I swear, the year really has kind of disappeared this time around though. :(Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-8769273348799212352014-05-18T09:55:53.354+01:002014-05-18T09:55:53.354+01:00I understand completely!

I honestly have NO idea how people who have kids whilst working find any time for themselves at all! (maybe they don't?)<br /><br />To make sure that I actually have time in the evenings now I've had to enforce a no messing around on my phone on weekday evenings rule, which gives me much more time to read/watch stuff that I am choosing to watch, which makes me feel like I am actually enjoying my evenings rather than wasting them. I completely waste the time I have at home at the weekends though. Such is life!Jimjamjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249933703532348607noreply@blogger.com
