It’s Saturday morning 9am and the brain and the body are having a fierce argument:
Brain: You really ought to get up!
Body: It’s nice and warm in here and I’m still tired.
Brain: There are things to do, people to see, places to go …
Body: Who cares? I can’t be bothered. Plus, it’s Saturday!!
Brain: Oh come on, you can do it. Move!
Body: Let me remind you that it was YOU who made me swim that hard workout last night! Your fault, live with it!
Brain: Sigh …
- Meanwhile, a roommate is stirring in the kitchen.
Brain (kicking into overdrive): If we do this right, there might be coffee in our near future.
Vocal cords: “Good morning, dearest roommate! Wouldn’t it be great if somebody brought me a cup of coffee to bed?”
Amazingly it worked. Brilliant plan. Awesome roommate. Coffee arrived and helped brain convince body to get up. Eventually.
the ying & yang of life; i think it’s deja vu all over again; i had the same thing happen to me on friday, but without the roommates or coffee or saturday
chuckle…great post
You give your brain too much freedom. it must be restrained and put into its place! But, wait, you are your brain…
