What gets you out of bed in the morning?
The Reverend Something or Other Posted Apr 2, 2004
One eight-pound lump of feline on my chest, washing my chin, the other (12 pound) feline yowling that breakfast is OBVIOUSLY way past due.
Then nature, caffeine, yada-yada.

What gets me out of bed? The feeling that if I do, some one some where will eventually pay me for the effort. When I was unemployed, needing the loo and breakfast usually would turf me out eventually.
Boring, isn't it?
Now what usually WAKES me up is some dumb **** of a politician on the radio assuming I am too stupid to notice that he's evaded the question three times now. Don't they realize how stupid, mean, selfish, piggy-brained and arrogant it makes them sound? If they just said 'I don't know' or 'Well, we made a mess of that one' or even 'I've been instructed not to answer that if I can possibly help it - sorry.' I'd have a lot more respect for the foaming nitwits.
Sorry. Rant over. Not enough coffee. Sorry.

The alarm goes off,...wonderful DJ plays my favourite tune...eyes open slowly after a gorgeous nights sleep, the sun is shining ...its a beautiful day...postman knocks on the door with a large parcel containing a fantastic prize I won in a free competition....
What? Oh I wasn't awake.

~*~I sometimes stay in bed all day.~*~
Wish I could do that.
Tried it once; got boring after a while.

The trouble with staying in bed all day is that your feet get really sweaty. Well, mine do anyway.

I once had flu (yes, only once ever and I got it when I was 41 years old!) and the *only* thing I could do for about five days was *stay in bed*. Except I couldn't because it felt too hideously boring, so I dragged myself and my duvet over to the sofa instead. With cats in tow.
Weird concept. All I did on the sofa was sleep and read a bit (with cats piled on top of me) and not as comfortably as if I had been in my bed. But somehow staying in bed all day felt too pathetic.

Excuse me, cats are part of nature's cure for a flu. Or a blues-day, or nearly anything else. Atleast that's what they seem to be telling me, over and over and ....

Seem to be the cause of mine, not the cure 
Though the once I had flu if I was anything more than 5 degrees off horizontal my balance went totally and I'd fall off the floor being 
everywhere. Bliss 
At the moment, the need to take my medication (for which I need something to line my stomach, for which I need to get out of bed...)

Post 17: Az, what kind of freaky cats do you have?!!!
If i don't get out of bed for dead on 7.32 then the bathroom is gone for another 15 minutes, whch means, being slightly late for work, but more importantly, having to stand on a soaking wet bathrrom carpet, brushing my teeth while lookin at toothpaste and spit all over the mirror and sink from previous bathroom user

Oh, you probably don't want to know, Footbacon! They are the most demanding and adorable bunch of felines. Even on a weekend day like today they made it very clear around 7am that their stomachs were in need of filling. I woke up this morning to find seven kilos of Sunny sitting on my chest and moaning that he was on the verge of starvation.
