Garfield was not kidding when he said that Mondays are the worst. Why is it so much harder to get out of bed on Monday than it is on Sunday? This morning I woke up at 5 AM with two big brown eyes staring at me. Sadie the dog wants breakfast now, please and thank you. I know what you’re thinking, just go back to sleep. She can wait another 45 minutes, right? Yes, in theory. In actuality, she will continue to stare until you relent. So I did, hoping after a quick trip outside and some food, she would go right back to sleep and I could just reset the alarm. She didn’t. She ate, went back to bed and then scratched herself and cleaned her paws very nicely for the next 20 minutes. The amazing thing about this is that on weekends, she can easily sleep until 6 am. Then we do the outside/food thing, and go back to bed where she immediately falls back into a sound slumber. But not on weekdays. Does she know I have to get up anyway? Do dogs know the days of the week? Work days vs relaxing days? I’m beginning to think they are much, much smarter than we give them credit.
But anyway, I’m at work now, counting down days to both payday and vacation. 14 work days until both!
I’ll leave you with this song, currently playing on my iPod. If it doesn’t put you in a happier mood, then I just can’t help you.
