Waking Human


Some days, you wake feeling wobbly and cautious as a newborn deer painted by first light.  Other days, you wake and emerge from your bed feeling sure and sturdy as a predator freshly emerged from the earth.
This morning, I woke feeling entirely human and needing to pee.  So I hugged my pillow and fell back to sleep for a bit more.

  1. I woke up and stared at the clock then made a whole bunch of "I'm getting older" waking up noises as I plodded downstairs to make coffee. I'm pretty sure if there were any predators around I would have been easy prey!

  2. I am the same before coffee. A kind of zombie mode.
