Back to Work

Scene: an unheated bedroom
Time: 5:00 AM
Outside temperature: 13°F

The alarm goes off. A half-awake old lady gets out of bed to hit the snooze button on the clock across the room. Br-r-r! She hurriedly hits the snooze button and rushes back to the warm cocoon of her bed.

Sleeping in a cool/cold bedroom is one of the best parts of winter. I sleep so much better when the room is cool. And it is so nice to snuggle back into the warm bed. But tonight I will probably be kicking off the covers since it's only going down to the mid 40s. It is supposed to be in the upper 60s tomorrow. I want winter back.

I guess it is really good that it will be warmer tonight. It won't be so hard to get out of the bed in the morning. I have to go back to work tomorrow. I worked one day last week, but this will be a full week. It will be hard to get myself going. I have really been enjoying my time off.
