Frittering

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
We fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way" (Pink Floyd)

I wake up before everyone else.... by hours

What to do without waking the household?
Cross stitch is losing its appeal as I lose my eyesight.
Reading is always a possibility. Concentration seems to be the problem with that suggestion
I could tidy up. Dream on!
I should tidy up. I should be doing lots of useful things. Not a chance!!!

Turn on the television.... BUT

Can't face the continual loop of the news channels. 15 minutes is enough
Am not awake enough to cope with 'E' entertainment
My favourite music channels aren't up and running so early in the morning .
I don't want to buy paint rollers, exercise machines or miracle facial things.

Turn on the computer.... endless possibilities

Solitaire is always an option or Freecell. Usually start with these to get my fingers awake.
Check email.
Cursory glance at documents, work files etc...

Hit the internet

Could easily waste a lifetime with random clicking

Used to Ebay alot, not so much now. Not sure why.
Wikipedia can suck you in for ages.
Have grown out of Googling myself (admit it, we've all done it)
You Tube is great, but too loud at 4am for the rest of the household.

Stardoll.com is fun in a girly way
Wetpaintpleasetouch.com is enjoyable

Thought I might interact.... but with whom?

Have a knee jerk reaction against Facebook. I don't do photos
Can't get my head round My Space
Too old for Vampirefreaks. Too early for Gmail

Finally found the perfect site

Twitter.com
