It´s just one of those days when you want to do nothing. Even moving around your bed seems like such an effort then. You squint at the clock and see that it´s close to noon. Sighing like you are about 200 years old, you groan and moan. The sun is shining brightly, so you head to shower. As the water hits your body you feel sleepy again. It´s like a massage really. You just don´t feel like raising your hands or even finding that soap. A few minutes of water therapy later, you walk out and sit on the bed gulping a glass of soya milk. There are dishes in the sink, the floor needs sweeping, the garbage needs to be taken out, the letters need to be posted. ´"Later, later, later" seem to be the only words that register.
The phone rings suddenly and you get up with a start. Your mind goes blank for a minute and you realize it was all a dream. Reality is far worse. You need to get out of bed, spend not more than 3 minutes in the shower, complete those chores, catch the 9 am local to reach that meeting across the city in time.
Sometimes dreams are good. They let you relax. Life unfortunately, is a high-speed, bumpy ride with no brakes. The only time you stop is when you have had enough. And that´s when your dreams start to take over your life.
So the next time, you want to have that leisurely shower in real time...just do it! The next time you want to binge on chocolates, indulge. Cause when you don´t, you know you will dream about it and wake up cheated.
