I DID IT!!

A good movie came on TV at noon.  "Martian", with Matt Damon, an astronaut left behind on Mars.  He had to figure out to live until rescue came.

 It was a 4hour movie, which worked out well.  When the commercials came on, I got up and dusted and vacuumed, put away the clean dishes, and the clean clothes.  Straightened up areas.  When the movie came back on, I sat in my recliner and rested.  I even got my couch and recliner vacuumed.

 4 hours was just the right amount of time!!

 Oh yes--bird feeders and squirrel feeder box filled, new suet cake in the little cage.

    I've used the clean-during-commercials method for years. Exercise-during-commercials too. It's surprising how much you can get done in such a short time. I read the book and saw The Martian movie---I love both. That was the author's first book and I look forward to more from him.

      The movie made me uneasy at times, but I really liked it.

    I know you feel so much better having accomplished those tasks, and enjoying the movie. You're my here seeing as how I have a lot to do, but with thing and another, it's not happening yet. :)

    That was an interesting movie! I offered my birdies a suet cake in a cage and they ignored it. I'll try again in the spring. I can't clean during commercials because I refuse to watch commercials, and even less to listen to them. So I DVR what I want to watch on "regular" TV and speed forward through the annoying ads. But mostly I like Netflix and Amazon Prime because NO ads! xoxo

    That's a great way to get your chores done. I like it, too. You get a little exercise and a little rest and get to see a good movie. Variety is the spice of life.
