A reality show
I turn on the radio in the car and they are talking about reality shows. I suppose there is the chance that some can be educational or helpful, but most of the ones I have seen just appear to be wildly emotional people acting badly as if drama makes up for no real story line.
I try to imagine a real reality show.
Perhaps one based on my life. What would I call it? What does Gramma do all day?
It could start as I pick up my "at home uniform" and get dressed. Then I drive to my favorite fast food restaurant, the one that makes biscuits the way I like them and buy a sausage egg and cheese biscuit. I come home, make coffee and eat in my big chair while watching the weather channel or a morning news show.
My friend texts me and then calls and we talk for about an hour while he walks his dog. After that I shower, brush my teeth and sit down before my big computer to begin editing. For the next three or four hours I read transcribed text out loud highlighting problem areas.
Occasionally someone calls and we talk before I go back to editing. In mid afternoon I eat lunch in my big chair while watching HGTV. (I especially like Tiny Houses.) Then I sit down to write a story for a friend. Breaking from this to answer phone calls, go to the mailbox, or do a crossword puzzle.
I eat dinner in my big chair watching a dvd or maybe a movie on the television and drawing a picture for a friend until it is time to brush my teeth and go to bed.
But wait! The day is not over yet! I read a book on my kindle for 30-60 minutes before dozing off and doing it all over again. I used to throw in a walk around the goose pond, but that kind of action is on hold for the time being.
I guess I can see why people manufacture drama. I wonder what kind of drama a director would suggest to spice up Gramma's life? Perhaps . . . well, maybe I won't go there.
