Getting My Arse Into Gear

It hasn’t stopped raining since I got up, it hasn’t stopped raining the whole time, seemingly not even for a minute. So, so much for the nice weather that we have been having for quite a few weeks.

It is the kind of weather that just makes you want to stay inside under a blanket on the couch.

I’m lying on the couch with both dogs watching bullshit on YouTube. Bruno crawls up behind my back like a back pack, Otto curls up around my feet and rests his face on my leg. I don't get much more than a third of the couch.

The morning slips away at an alarming rate. 

I have to go to the gym, which I already put off from yesterday. I put Tuesday session off to Wednesday, so Thursdays sessions becomes Friday. And here I am spending too much time on the couch, it is true. The morning, the day, it is disappearing. I feel so unmotivated. Really, nothing. Zero, zip, zilch, nada.

It is just nice lying here. Mark used to say that would be my epitaph.

When I look next, it is 11am. Grrrr! No! Slow doesn't will you. It's funny how time goes faster when you are putting off doing something?

Okay. I’m going. I'm getting up and going. I need to get the gym, get it done this morning. It would be too painful to let it go until the afternoon. Oh no, the morning is the time to get it out of the way.

Okay. The rain has stopped. Now I am going. It's 11am. I’m going now. I am getting up and going. I am dragging my arse off this couch... now.
