Loose Ends
6:40 a.m, time to get up and start a new day,
Or maybe I could lie here for a few more minutes.
No, I’ve got to get up and make my bed.
Ugh, but it is so cold. I’ve got to remember to put cozy shoes
Close to me before I fall asleep. Hopefully, I won’t forget to do that for tomorrow
Morning. 6:48, how did that happen? Shoot, now I’ve really got to get up.
At least that shock finally made me stand up,
So I guess step one of my day
Is complete. Maybe this will motivate me to not be so slow tomorrow.
Actually, I’ll be nicer to myself because eight minutes
Does not mean that I’ll be racing to put my shoes
On like I did that time I took twenty minutes to get out of bed.
I can’t really blame myself, I mean my bed
Is so comfy that getting up
In the morning is quite a challenge. That’s another reason why having soft shoes
nearby would help so much. They would make starting the day
Not take me so many additional minutes.
Wow, now I’m kinda looking forward to tomorrow.
Plus, tomorrow
Is Saturday, so I can stay in my bed
Until noon. Actually, I’ll probably get out of it a few minutes
Before, so I don’t feel lazy for getting up
In the middle of the day.
Saturday will be fun, but for now, I’ve gotta put on my shoes
And get through today. These shoes
Are kind of tight; I’ll definitely buy new ones tomorrow,
Or maybe I can do that after school today.
Darn, the future. Soon I’ll be back to wishing I was in my bed.
Never mind, I am actually happy to be up
Because I’ll get to watch the sun rise in a few minutes.
Yep, it’ll rise in exactly two minutes,
Which is just enough time for me to race outside in my shoes
And take pictures of it coming up.
What a beautiful sunrise! Maybe I’ll do this again tomorrow
Instead of wasting time by lying in bed
Because I love letting this image start my day.
I only have a few minutes before I need to go inside, but it is okay. I’ll be back tomorrow.
Not even the comfort of my bed can stop me from putting on my shoes
And spending the first part of my day watching the radiant sun come up!
