My Life on the Couch -Part Two-The Cocoon

My second day on the couch was even more uneventful than the one on Saturday. New addition to the nest is a snack table. The table held my warm coke and a variety of plane crackers, of which Saltines had been added. Still feeling like carp and all I could do was just lay there. The TV has been my friend since the beginning, although I had gotten into the habit of not watching any program for more than 5 minutes. My theory being there is always a better program on the next channel. But the one thing I did not want to watch was the lead up to the Super Bowl. I just could not handle the whole shtick. Anyway with the Giants not playing so I did not have a dog in the hunt.

One thing that was changing was the couch that I was laying on. I had two blankets, 3 pillows covering a body that one minute was freezing and the next hot as H-E double hockey sticks. The blankets started out very nicely at first but the second day it was a tangle that would take two days to unraveled. The pillows now change about every 2 minutes, going from horizontal too vertical back to horizontal back to vertical. It was just a symphony of movement by a person that is not feeling all that well.

The rest of the day was uneventful. Watched the Super Bowl, and that was good. After, I fell asleep in a tangle of blankets and pillows . Cocoons are a good thing.
