Go To Work

Oh God I have to go to work today I really can't be bothered, I have to face that damn bright light and bloody cold when I kick off the covers. Urgh My alarm's about to go off too It's like I've only slept for half an hour, When my foot touches the floor reality touches me as I prepare to address the shower. Pfft Ok I'm wet but still not awake and I've brushed my teeth and hair, and the mere thought of driving makes me sick just not quite sick enough to care. Meh Pulling my trousers over my shirt made me lie back on the bed for a sec, you know what, stuff it, off they come again bugger it what the heck. Bleurgh Pick up the phone and call my boss "I'm sorry but I will have to bail", Some metaphor for illness soon begins but my breath would tell the tale. Aaaah Falling back onto my bed naked, relieved and clean a little guilty at my little slice of heaven, I would have to admit I feel much better now than I ever would at quarter to seven. Zzzzz
