In A Perfect World: V5 I14.18 in Confessions

In a perfect world…

I would get home from work, pick up the bedroom, have some dinner, then settle in and read chapter 11. I would take a nice bath, while relaxing with some music and a lovely drink. Crawl into bed and spend ninety minutes reading. Then I would turn off the light and fall asleep quickly.

In my world…

I will get home from work, quickly change, be grilled with “what happened? any news? what are you going to do tonight?”, eat a quick dinner and then head to my room, be told to close my door so “I won’t interrupt you.” Settle in, begin to read and then be interrupted every 15 minutes for some stupid question and “I know I said I wouldn’t interrupt you.” I will maybe get five pages read before I get completely fed up and just turn on mindless television and resent that I don’t live in the perfect world. I will also resent roommate for being bored during the day with no adult interaction and have to provide that when I have spent the day with nothing but people and adult interaction. My bath will be a quick shower, the music will be the sound of 4-wheelers and my neighbors screaming over the sound of them. My drink will probably be water. I will spend 90 minutes between twitter and facebook instead of reading and when I turn out the light, I will toss and turn until I decide to redecorate my small spaces. Then I will dream about work and wake up cranky and unmotivated.

Stupid worlds!
