Today was the kind of morning you wake up to and just want to turn right back around and hide from. I could have stayed in bed until mid afternoon, enveloped by fluffy linen and the pelt of my little feline companion.
Yet much to my dismay, the alarm's pesky snooze intervals beckoned me to attend to the responsibilities and preoccupations required of me.
The idea of setting foot on cold hardwood floors, stepping into a cold tiled bathroom, treading the outside world, an a.m. run, jumping into a stuffy train full of non-morning folk, and especially spending eight hours at a desk where all not welcomed. In fact, morning-wood was about the only thing in the house displaying any air of motivation.
I am looking forward to tomorrow, minus the several inches of snow which are forecasted to fall. Snow and winter are natural phenomenon's I use to romanticize while living in the South until of course I moved North and seasons seized to be a thing of movies and became a frigid gloomy four month reality.
I am especially anxious for the arrival of spring, low heating and cooling costs, pastels, nature blooming, outdoor excursions, flip-flops, barbeques, tax-refunds, iced-coffee, parties in the Hamptons, clam chowders in the Cod, plane rides to far away places, mom's black beans and rice, but mostly change.
Its funny how we are never satisfied with where we are. I remember living in NY dreading the snow, the cold, the train and the everyday life in NY. and now moving to LA for my career choice, all I can do is think about those days and appreciate mass transit and the seasons. Don't get me wrong I love the weather here, but I too am never satisfied or content with what I have. Some might say thats a good thing because it'll keep pushing me to the next level. but, when do I find time to appreciate what I've accomplished and what I have?
Don't worry your warmer days are on the way and then we can talk about the ridiculous humid weather....
Jose
and i guess thats the beauty of the North east. The change. I get bored of the same things all the time and love new things, opportunities and challenges. I remember loving the first snow fall then being over it after all the slush is fucking up the new Tims you just bought. LOL!
I agree. Its beautiful when it falls but disgusting after its walked on.
I think your morning would have gotten off to a better start if you knew you had a nice pair of warm, cozy, fluffy and furry slippers to slip your feet into, rather than knowing your feet were to descend into cold wood floors, followed by freezing ceramic tiles. Errrgghhh, not "cool" at all.
Trust me! I go through the same shit, cuz' I don't have a nice pair of warm, cozy, fluffy and furry slippers either!
Maybe we should go shopping for a pair of those ... What do you say?
I like fluffy furry slippers...
Im also fed up with the season at this point, and i find it harder getting up in the morning these past weeks. Desperately hungry for spring...
