It goes without saying that having a day off is a welcome respite. Or should be rather. Today I had a day off work and I feel more exhausted than ever. I do not feel like going to get our car looked at (even though the accident wasn't Melissa's fault and the lady's insurance will surely cover the expenses). I do not feel like reading the Haruki Marukami novel that I should have finished by now (even though everyone else in the reading group read ahead and finished the novel before we had a chance to discuss the first four chapters like we were supposed to so now I look like an even slower reader than the one I actually am). I do not feel like picking up after myself (even though I have been all day). And I do not feel like sleeping (even though I have stumbled through my day in a mysterious half-slumber since I got out of the shower).
And I believe I have finally discovered the base issue. I should not have taken a shower this morning. I find that if I wake up before seven o'clock a shower is just the right remedy for a newly awoken body. I also find that if I wake up after ten o'clock a shower is a lengthy chore that puts a kink in an otherwise productive day. I can prove this is so, just look at today. Lethargy city.
