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.
