Stuckation

It has been some time since I have traveled, four months to be exact – a rather long time for me. When I first returned from my last adventure I decided it was time to take a staycation, which is often interchangeable with a paycation. Four months later, I feel like I am on stuckation, which is often interchangeable with suckation.

My aunt used to say, “When you can’t change the situation, change your attitude.” I like that salty saying, but have tweaked it a bit to meet my needs, “When you can’t change the situation, change your hair color.” Another salty saying, which I pulled from one of my all-time favorite reads, Salty Sayings from cynical tongues, is “Silk was invented so that women could seem naked in clothes.”

One of the little life lessons I learned in my travels is the importance of flying in silk. Since I couldn’t change my location/situation, and just colored my hair last week, I decided to throw on some silk. It was exhilarating. I did things I never do when I’m at home. For example, I turned on the television or, as OregganO calls it, “that little black box in the corner of your front room with the power button.” I watched shows I never watch, unless I’m on vacation. Shows like Tosh.O, Kendra, local news and The View. I had cereal for dinner and I didn’t wear any underwear (yep, I ditched the fullbacks for the evening). The night was truly magical.

To end it right, I opted to sleep in my bed. This act may be common for most people, but I am not most people. My house is a decent size and I have several options when it comes to where I sleep. Dr. BJ can attest to this, he spent many a morning trying to locate me so he could provide good day greetings. I’m not sure what tomorrow may bring, but I plan to have a little bit of silk with me so that I will be prepared, wherever I land.

  6. Regular improvements or updating your home can be cost effective, as well-maintained walls and ceilings are
    likely to require less preparation work before each update.

  16. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  21. Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to your blog before but after going through some of the articles I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely pleased I discovered it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back often!

  24. Oh my goodness! Amazing article dude! Thanks, However I am going through problems with your RSS. I don’t know why I am unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone else getting the same RSS problems? Anyone who knows the solution can you kindly respond? Thanks!

  27. Your style is so unique compared to other people I’ve read stuff from. I appreciate you for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this web site.

  30. Can I simply just say what a relief to discover someone who truly knows what they are discussing online. You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you aren’t more popular given that you certainly possess the gift.

  31. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read through, but I truly thought you would probably have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.

  32. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something regarding this.
