1o Reasons to Get Out of Bed

by

There are days that I struggle to get out of bed and function lately. This scares me … I’m doing a lot of thinking and praying this week before I jump right back on ‘em, but it’s in the back of my head. This morning, while I was struggling to get up, I started forming a list of 10 reasons I should get out of bed … I thought I would share them with you!

1. It look sunny outside. I should get some vitamin D. The sunshine is good for me. (I opened ALL the blinds today to let the natural light into my house.)

2. No one is going to make tea for me and bring it to me in bed, so I have to get up and make it for myself. Dangit.

3. Laying in bed feeling sorry for myself is going to do anything but make me feel MORE sorry for myself. And as I was laying there, I got to thinking about the fact that I have very little to feel sorry about!

4. The postman doesn’t deliver my mail to the front door, I’ve got to get up to get paid.

5. I’ve gotta pee so badly!

Stop laughing now. These were really reasons I came up with this morning to get out of bed!

6. Cav comes home today, she’ll probably want me to come over … my bed doesn’t drive … she doesn’t drive … I have to get up.

7. There are things to do today. No, really, I have homework to do, packing for Thanksgiving to do, and photos to check out. I don’t get wireless internet with my laptop at home (issues issues issues) and so I have to remain connected in the living room to be online.

8. I have to work today. I have to post here, I have to post a About Portland, OR and work at WEGO Health and I can’t do that in bed.

9. I have to go to the post office. I already marked that movie as “shipped” and so I must ship it today! I also have to get brownie mix for tomorrow night’s pre-Thanksgiving feast.

10. I have plans for my evening … those plans can not be mastered in bed. Unfortunately.

    Aw, sweetie. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been struggling. I think we all have ups and downs, and I guess this is a down time for you.

    I’m sorry I haven’t made time to reply to your e-mail yet. I promise I’ll get that done!

    Take care and let me know if I can do anything to help.
