Beep beep beep.
It’s 8 a.m. My alarm is screaming in my ear from my phone that lay
restlessly on the nightstand beside me. I’m tired. I decide to hit the snooze
button. Just five more minutes ..
Four presses of the snooze button later, I decide that I need to get up.
After all, my business needs me. I endlessly work to pry my own eyes open,
while a full email inbox impatiently waits for me to check it out. Finally, my
eyes are open. Still, I’m tired. Exhausted, actually. The fatigue is
overwhelming. My mind is awake at this point, but my body is fighting for a
chance to put off tackling the day. I sit up and swivel my body, and as my feet
meet the carpet beside my bed, pain overtakes me. My back is sore and my feet
sting. But I power through.
