What a great blog! It Really hit home. I have used tv for company since I live alone. What I really wanted and needed was things to do with real people. I do more with real people now, however, TV does sneak back into my time mgmt. struggles too. I recall the extreme fatgue from chemo. I was unable to read, and sometimes would spend 3 hours getting energy up to go to the store for something I needed, only to have to return home because I couldn't get out of the car. Your analogy of brain dollars and how we spend them is excellent! And I am so glad you don't beat yourself up about things, or at least re-think it when you do. You are a lesson to us all and thank you so much. Care, Cathy Hello Alyson,

I'm sure glad I checked it today. I've spent far too much of my brain dollars on tv over the holidays..I've lost count of how many movies I've watched. In the back of my mind I know there are other things I should be doing with the time off such as visiting friends, walking the dogs etc. Time for me to evaluate the bank! Thanks Alyson for continuing to write these honest and thought provoking posts. Your New Years message today sparked me to check out your blog which I hadn’t done for awhile.

Thank you...your brain dollars analogy has given me lots to ponder, and reminds me that the time I spend with Emmett (instead of vacuuming, spending time on email, laundry, etc) is a wise investment. For him and for his mom!

This whole post is a fantastic analogy that I will be sure to share with others. Nice work! I think back on all my years spent watching TV and, well, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
