At Work...Maybe Mentally

 

Taking a work break

Do you ever get to that point where you need to lie back and simply breathe for no other reason than to remind yourself that you're still a living person? Sometimes, that very important to do. Just take a break and lie back, count to 100 or more, and try to center yourself. It could be work related, but it doesn't have to be. It could be body aches taking your concentration away. It could be the fact that you were lying around till 2am, hoping that you would eventually get tired. For me, I had fallen asleep sometime around 3am and slept from 7pm-11pm on the couch. I woke up to the other half crunching on Doritos.

"What time is it?"

"It's around 11 o'clock! You've been asleep. Shocker!"

I fell asleep because it was raining so hard and that's all I could hear. You know that sound of constant rain falling on the roof. It's not a tin roof thankfully. I was raised with that. We have an asphalt shingle roof which muffles the rain to more of a hum. It can make me fall asleep sitting upright.

The other half woke me up around 6:30 this morning because his parents were supposed to have picked him up to go somewhere but decided to do that later. I moved to the bed for an hour or two of cuddle time. It was nice but we all have to get up sometime and do something with our day. I'm here.
