A Story

Yesterday morning, I "snoozed" once past my alarm, which I had set in order to get to Aquafit for 10am (I need to leave my driveway at 9:30). Being a PID day, I wasn't feeling the greatest. I neglected to take pain medication at 4 am, because...well, because I didn't think it was that bad at that hour. And I was too lazy to roll over, grab the bottle, sit up, and sip the water I keep with me on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights.

I enjoyed my morning bowl of Mini Wheats cereal, along with a wake-up glass of orange juice, and some anti-inflammatory pills. The sun was shining through our big front windows, and just a little lay down may be all that I needed to get moving past the kitchen table...

I laid down on my bed, having opened the curtains and blinds so that I could enjoy a direct sunbeam. Ten minutes, fifteen tops, and then I would get up and head out to aquafit. It was 9 o'clock, leaving me plenty of time to pack my bottle of water, some cookies, and find my car keys.

The sun was hot. The cats were purring: I had opened the blinds, of course! I was comfy on top of the covers, one cat to my left, and one to my right.

And then it was 11:15.

I slept through aquafit.
