getting up (narrative format)

Dec 18, 2007 10:11

I woke up this morning, and realized my feet were cold. I wondered at that, was there any other time I'd woken up  before with my feet cold. I tried to remember. I was sure there was a time when I woke up and my feet were cold, but I couldn't think of any. I thought, can this possibly be the first time I've waken up with my feet cold.. hmm??? I looked down. I couldn't see them cus they were covered with blankets, and I thought, how come they are cold, covered with two blankets?... So I figured, in any case, I should try to warm them up. So when I summed up enough energy to sit up, I pulled my left foot towards me and started rubbing. I stopped for awhile and looked at my left foot. I had never really liked my feet and wondered why couldn't they be like my sister's feet, whom were although flat, were small and dainty with nice lined toe nails. Then I wondered why her feet always seemed to be cold, and it made me realize how my feet were cold right now. But I was tired of rubbing my left foot and it seemed to have gotten some of its warmth back so i was going to keep it at that... but then I thought, what about my right foot. It was still cold. So I thought, yeah it would be kinda unfair if I didn't rub that one too. So I did, but I couldn't calculate how much time I had given to my left foot, and if I was giving more or less attention to my right foot then it really wouldn't be fair. So I rubbed my right foot some, but then realized I was bored of doing so and stopped. I put my feet back under the blankets and wrapped them. They seemed warm enough now. Then I thought about what I was going to do. If I got up, my feet would get cold again, was it worth risking? Besides my arms were starting to get cold too, so I submerged myself under the blankets and stayed there for awhile. But then I was getting bored, so though about what I could do without getting cold.

I had to do some studying and luckily my book bag was at the head of my bed. So I took out my note book, turned to my mass communication notes and started reading. Title said. Movies- Importance of Movies.. "mooo veees.. mooo ve" Moo like how cows go mooo.. actually cows go kinda like moouuu. Like an UUU at the end. I was getting distracted. So I thought okay just try to get through one page of notes... next were bullets under the title, first one said: Provides common cultural thread, and then it had its own additional bullets. So i skipped them and when to the next .. it said. Escape. I thought what in the heck does that mean. Yeah, I would like to escape right now, maybe this is some kind of message, so I'd better listen to it. So, I closed my notebook, and placed it on the floor.

I thought, I should get up now, get washed and dressed, then maybe some breakfast. But what was I going to wear. I though maybe I can think of what I will wear before I get up so i wont have to waste time standing in the closet door, getting cold, and thinking about what to wear. I thought, should I just wear something, I can wear around the house that I wouldn't go out in. But then I thought, what if something came up and I had to go out, surely I didn't want to have to get all dressed up again. Then I thought, if raining outside, do I really want to go out in that weather, and besides what would I wear. Something that, when it gets wet, doesn't look like its wet, and it has to be warm, but not too much cus then if I wanted to run from my car to inside where I was going, I'd look all puffy and weird.

Then I thought, maybe I'll watch some news on TV. and it would help me to get up.. So I looked around for the remote.. I'd left it on my computer desk..on the far edge, too far to reach if i wanted to stay in bed and keep warm. Then my phone rang and it too was on the far side of my desk. I thought, what was I thinking putting it there?.. It rang again, and I was sick of the noise, so I had to answer it before I had to hear it again. So I got up.

sleepy, bed, morning, getting up
