My Sister

My sister is a bad influence on me.

Before she came home, I had all sorts of shit going on. I would read, write, study French, do yoga, meditate, go to the gym and generally try to break myself from the funk my life has fallen into as of late.

But then she came home for the summer. She works hard all year, gets good grades and all the honors SUNY can offer. She has a very demanding job. So I can blame her for utterly crashing when she gets home, where she spends her time watching TV, surfing the web on her laptop and trying new wines every other night. Shes earned it.

Trouble is, it rubs off on me. Suddenly I find myself getting into whatever shes watching when I walk in the door from work, plopping myself on the couch right next to her and just doing whatever shes doing for the rest of the evening. But I have not earned it.

Part of it is because I dont want her to feel like Im ignoring her or make her feel alone, as her social life is nealy as empty as mine. But mainly its just lazyness. I suppose I should try to break myself from it as part of my latest motivational spurt. Wish me luck.
