I Miss Reading

A couple of weeks ago I finally broke down and bought myself the newest Dean Koontz book.  It's been out for a while, and while I have all of his other books (well, most of them anyway) I could not justify spending almost twenty dollars on a book.  Then one day, I was in the store, and I decided to treat myself.  I was so excited to go home and start reading it.  Well, that book is just sitting on my desk, mocking me, because I haven't even opened it up to the first page yet.

By the time I get home from work, I am so tired from working all day that all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch television.  I wish we had direct tv  instead of just the netflix so I could watch current shows, but I make due with what we have. Most people think my job is easy.  I mean, all I do is drive a van and make deliveries.  But, if you have never done this before, you have no idea how exhausting it can be having to concentrate on the road for ten hours a day almost every day of the week.  Trust me when I say, it's not easy.  I love my job, don't get me wrong.  But the last thing I want to do when I get home is read a book, which is sad, because I really do love to read.

That said, I am hoping that by next year I can afford to get directtv for my kids.  They deserve it. I hope I can take advantage of their dx3 plan, too, but I am sure by then they will have something different.  Probably even something better. For now, though, I am going to continue watching old shows on netflix.
