PERILOUS!!!
Is there
no End??
1 I'm convinced that I was once a bear, and meant to hibernate.
2 I woke up this morning to a downpour.
3 Everything in my being said,"Go to sleep for the remainder of the winter!!!"
4 Some whiny lady from Marin said faintly from the clock radio, "We NEED this!"
5 The bear in me said, "Go to hell. I need sleep."

7 Anybody lookin'?
8 Here are reasons I wish to go back to sleep:
9 My mind, body and spirit tell me to.
10 Whatever seemed important disappeared when the heater came on and I pulled a warm blanket over my head.
11 It's pouring as I write this.
12 The only reason I even GOT up was the dog thought it was normal outside.
13 She started nipping at me and biting my rear end to get her some breakfast.
14 I accommodated.
15 Pawing at the sliding glass door, she insisted on scratching until I let her out.
16 With one eye open I slid the door a crack to the left.
17 She did three false starts, turned around, curled into a ball and put her nose flat on the floor. She stared up.
18 Phoebes.
19 But I digress.
20 Where was I?
21 Reasons I wish to go back to sleep, Part the Second.
22 There never really was an official Part the First.
23 Anyway, here are more reasons:
24 It's pouring down rain.
25 When I got the paper I had to do so in sloggers and shorts.
26 On that selfsame mission I had to grab my umbrella from the trunk.
27 I bolted back inside.
28 I didn't bother opening the umbrella. I wisely kept it closed, assuming I was going to take a shower anyway.
29 I got ready, like you do.
30 I sat down to edit what I wrote last night.
31 I took the shower, dressed, grabbed some fresh brew and sat down on the Cloud.
32 I couldn't remember what I wrote last night. I didn't care. All I thought was Yogi Bear.
33 That wasn't a deliberate rhyme.
34 Well...it was. I thought it corny but left it in anyway.
35 It's raining.
36 The Marin lady or somebody like her just repeated "We NEED this."
37 You do.
38 I need sleep.
39 I was once a bear, and we were meant to hibernate.
40 <huge sigh>
41 <dialing sub service>
42 Anybody lookin'?
43 <listening to the storm>
44 <hashtagdoorsmusic> <hashtaggenekelly music>
45 <hashtaghashtag>
46 <suddenly turning into Richard Burton>
47 EEEEEENOUGH!!!!
48 Sometimes I love my Sybil side.
49 I have decided I'm awake, perked up from fresh coffee, and ready to face the day.
50 I hope to see the sun in the clouds burst through and cause spiritual beams and rainbows.
51 After all, we NEED this.
52 I punch you in the face, lady from Marin.
53 Have a GREAT day.
54 Stay safe.
55 See you again.
56 I'll try to care about Leno tomorrow.
57 Peace.
