The "I can't get up" thread.

[Nirvanadragones]

No, not the"I can't get it up" thread.

So, I have 30 minutes to get out of bed, do what I have to do and get into the car, drive like hell in a semi-storm, to write an exam.

And I can't get out of bed. I just wanna lie here for the entire day and do fuck all. I want to be warm and relaxed and just . . . stay in bed.

Not even coffee is serving as motivational. Sigh.

I know that feeling, musta hit my snooze about oh...4 or 5 times this morning.

 

[rgraham666]

Unfortunately for me, once my brain is up it insists my body gets up as well.

 

[Liar]

I had a deadline for four articles last Friday. I still can't be arsed to begin writing...

After Lunch. I promise.

Maybe.

I had to force myself out of bed to go to a doctor's appointment today. Spent about twenty minutes in bed watching the second hand on my watch go round and weighing the pros and cons of blowing it off. Wish I had actually; it turned out to be one of those pointless appointments where the doctor has an unstated attitude of, "Why the fuck are you wasting my time with this?"

I never want to get up on weekdays. It has a lot to do with the school district I work for yanking me out of the position I'd held for two years, in a self-contained high school special ed class, and moving me to an elementary school where I'm a one-to-one aide for a fifth grader.

Don't get me wrong; with the budget cuts that prompted that move, I'm thankful to still have a job. But I liked the job I had, I miss it, and I'm not having the world's best time with my current job for a variety of reasons.

What usually gets me up in the morning is reminding myself that I only have to deal with it till June; then I'll have the summer free and will be moving, and in September I'll hopefully have a new job that will actually make me want to get out of bed in the morning. That and the realization that since I now have an extra hour in the mornings, I have an extra hour of writing time before I have to leave.

I wish I could figure out how to make a living writing; then I'd want to get up every day, I think.

I'm on autopilot in the morning. Once I get back from the daily get-kid-up-and-to-school routine, I can go right back to sleep.

 

[oggbashan]

I've had the local bug and I'm still tired.

But the decorators were due to arrive at 8am this morning so I had to drag myself out of a warm cosy bed to be there when they arrived.

All I want to do is go back to bed but I've got to prepare for an evening meeting.

I feel like being hated this morning, so I'll share:

I wake up no later than 4:30 every morning and BOUNCE out of bed. I skip to the kitchen and start the coffee than go swim a few laps and then, after getting the morning paper and a cup of coffee, I soak in the hot tub for a few minutes.

After a bit, I RUN into to bedroom and (with a brief stop to hear my loving spouse SCREAM about being awaken by contact with a cold, wet, naked body) I jump into the shower.

Once I get done and dressed, I skip back to the kitchen and start a nice big healthy breakfast for my family. While it is cooking, I go give everybody a nice "Good Morning" wake up call and make sure they are out of bed and moving (I've been known to use ice water if necessary )

I simply LOVE mornings!

Hmmmm well here is why I didn't wanna get up...turns out I have an upper respiratory infection with a mild [101.2F] fever...yay...

Bleh. Same here. Of course this happens after I've been up with my kid the last three nights while he had it. Now he's perfectly fine and I'm too sick to get out of bed.

Oh yes...lol I get sick, dealt with them all Friday while I was mildly sick, then came in today, and got to listen to them bitch for 3hrs about all the pregnancy stuff. I swear I'd really wanna know how the hell the 5 of them can carry on 8hrs a day about being pregnant, 5 days a week, for months! And then they wanna know why they aren't being taught everything, its cause they give you a blank stare when you ask if they want to go...

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Repeat.

I'm not allowed to get sick. The school district I work with allows me to earn one paid sick day for every month that I work. Once I run out of paid sick days, I can't take any unpaid ones. The district only allows employees to take unpaid days with prior approval from the superintendent.

I'm a single parent. I have two children, one of whom is old enough to stay home alone when she's sick (unless she's so bad off she can barely move), the other of whom isn't. I must have lost my crystal ball when I moved, because I don't seem able to predict when any of us is going to get sick. So I'm pretty much SOL if I do come down with anything, because I don't have prior approval and I'm reasonably sure I'm out of sick days until the end of January.

There are days I think I'd rather lose my job than go in because I feel so crappy, or because I have to force a sick child to go to school, but then I remind myself that I have to support my kids somehow... So I get up and get my butt in gear. Like I've done this morning. Farking migraine

Sad thing is, I really am a morning person. On weekends, I'm sometimes up by 6 a.m. because that gives me extra time to write. I just don't like getting up and going to work. If I could stay home and earn money, I'd bound out of bed pretty much every day. lol.

 

[damppanties]

I can get up but I have to drag myself to work / class. *sigh*

 

[vella_ms]

im a morning person. i love mornings but at 4 this morning i took a pain pill and im headed back to bed at some point.

ugh.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

Day two. I'm really too sick to be out of bed. I'm snuggling with the doggie. Kidlet is still technically too sick to go to school, but not sick enough to keep from annoying me. I'm going to have to eventually get out and ship my Ebay stuff, which I'm not looking forward to since it's about 16 degrees and the wind is blowing about 50 mph.

This is me most mornings. Had a really hard time getting up today though because being sick and on medicine that makes you drowsy is not a good combination.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Coffee.

I'm a zombie.

Repeat this post for Tuesday and Wednesday. The decorators finished their work 20 minutes ago.

And now on Thursday the contractors are arriving at 8am to start laying our new vehicle crossover and (permeable) car standing in the front garden - and I have a Spanish Class on Thursday evening.

My wife and I have made an appointment to see each other on Saturday morning and then we're going to London to a show in the evening.
