Things About Me #4 – I Can’t Just Watch Television

I can’t just watch television – I have to be doing something when it is on other than ‘watching’ it. I get bored, antsy, sometimes feel guilty because I’m not being productive…just generally uncomfortable. For my husband, on the other hand, it’s his total form of relaxation. He can sit in front of it for hours after working all day. So in order to spend time together after dinner I’ll sit in my recliner and half-way listen to the television and chat with him, but I have to be emailing, checking work stuff, playing online games, reading, writing…something. Sometimes eating at the same time. I can’t just sit there and watch.
