Ramblings of Life
1/24/2012
Cold as it is, 32 degrees, outside, I still have to move that lazy ass of mine out of bed. The music of my Ipod alarm still had me caught between my dreams and harsh reality. Sitting up, finally, I garnered enough energy to flop my arm over to the alarm to turn off the snooze, then slowly swing my legs out of the bed and onto the floor. With the blurry eyed vision of morning fog I was able to stumble out of the bedroom and in front of the mirror. Good damn thing I was unable to see myself very well, heaven knows what I would have seen. Emptying the contents of the pill container for Tuesday I head towards the kitchen to grab some water and swallow the life giving substance of my medications for the day. Okay, maybe not so dramatic, life giving substance, a few vitamins and two heart medications, but still, I hope they help. Although I’m bitching a little about the A.M. hours I do like some of the rituals mornings, have to offer especially the smell of coffee brewing. Of course there is that bladder release thing too. I pour a cup of the steaming, aromatic, life giving brew and sit in my favorite chair. IKEA sure made me happy with the POANG chair and footrest. Anyway, sorry I got sidetracked, I sit with my coffee, search the immediate area for the remote and turn on the T.V.. Immediately, like I’m sure a lot of people do, I flip to the Weather channel. Now as I write about this I find this not so strange and also I find it very strange. The not so strange part about watching the weather channel is that you can kind of plan your day in the way that you can figure out what you might want to wear and also how your driving experience might be that morning. The strange part for me anyway, is that no matter how much you stare at the current conditions you cannot change them, especially in the winter. Weatherman can’t predict any weather correctly what makes me think my staring at the T.V. will somehow alter what is happening or will happen. Really no matter what your being shown or told don’t we all hope for the good weather and exact forecast but especially here in the West expect just the opposite. Okay, enough of the weather, it’s time to get in gear and get in the shower. I’ll leave you all out of the shower, its not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, just kidding, I like the privacy of my shower, that’s all. Well enough of this morning rambling’s maybe I’ll get back to it later today.
