I Dont know what YOUR life is like, but.........

sometimes, in mine, I just don't want to get out of bed. It's not a big thing. Like, I've suddenly come to the conclusion that life is a big scam.

Sunday.....It's a lot of little things: I got my apartment's electric bill for $2,523.47; a new silk dress was returned from the cleaners with an iron burn whole in the sleeve; a crazy woman in the check-out line at the grocery store asked me why my nose is so long; a check from a friend in repayment of a loan bounced. Little things. Maybe I could cope with them one at a time. But that day....they seemed to have piled up...and I didn't wanna get outta bed at all; it just wasn't worth it.

Why hassle? There really was no reason, I told myself, why I should get outta bed. What for? No one I wanted to see. No one I wanted to talk to.

It went on like that until about 9:30am that morning. Then I got outta bed. I wish I could tell ya all it was from a stern resolve, a conviction that I owed myself, my kids, one more effort to show myself worthy and clean my messy home. It wasn't that at all. I got out of bed because I had to pee.

While I was sitting there, I reflected that maybe memorable acts of great men were impelled by similarly basic drives.....Maybe Einstein cam up with E=MC2 while suffering from insomnia. Perhaps Keats dashed off "Ode on a Grecian Urn" while he was constipated. Maybe Carnot jotted down the second law of thermodynamics while enduring an attack of dyspepsia and awaiting the arrival of Mother Tums!

Well, it's possible.

You're so right! Maybe Carrot Top was in bed when he thought of putting a bra on a watermelon!

this time of year, the smallest setbacks can be harder to handle. the christmas season puts so much pressure on everyone to perform better, whether it be in the form of work, buying the perfect gift, putting up with relatives/in-laws, etc. normal traffic gets on my nerves lately, just because i'm so stressed out. i say next year we change the date for christmas, throw it in the middle of august, or something. at least then it'd be warm.

Good God A'mighty! How in the world did you get an electric bill that high? Something's wrong. Amen.

I dont think I ever feel like getting out of bed. Everyday I woke up I would think to myself "I dont think Im going to work today". I always ended up going.

I don't understand why everybody thinks Christmas is so damn stressful.

I have to get out of bed(after 3 hours of sleep or so, that 3 hours is thanks to the narcotics..) because of the horrible, horrible pain in my back from that damned herniated disc or two, along with the other back problems and the fact that I can't breath And my leg feels like theres a band of spikes pushing into it..

Blah, christmas is a pain in the ass...

I hate shopping for myself, nevermind other people...

I hate being around crowds of people and thats all there is in the malls atm..

Then youve got the whole family thing... I dont know about anyone else, but I hate to be in a room full of my family members for any extended period of time... It might be the fact that we are all so alike we hate each other.

Bah, I'm staying in bed this christmas
