Perfect Mornings......vs Mine

I wake up to the rustling of leaves and birds chirping....
I wake up to the hammering in the wall thanks to the construction work going on next door...

....to lazily stretch out and feel the fresh air....
...to jump out of bed........Shit I'm late again!

I open my cupboard to breathe in the freshly starched clothes
"Mom! Is there anything clean I can wear?"

I sink into the bath tub to treat myself to an aromatic lazy bath
The shower gel's run out. The shampoo's run out......Oh crap! The water's run out!

...and gently massage my face with a creamy moisturiser...
...Another F-ing pimple! Dammit!

I sink my teeth into a soft croissant with oozing butter teasing my tongue
"Is this bread toasted?". "No". "Why is it so hard?". "It's 3 days old". Silence. "Can I have some butter?". "No. It's fattening for you"

I let the aroma of coffee take over my senses
I gag on my cup of milk

And I walk down to my sparkling car
That's bird shit on my bonnet again

And head out for a smooth, pleasant drive to office
"*&%%#* you're the one who can't see where you're going"

I walk into office to pleasant greetings
"Out of my way!" "You're late again!"

I turn on my sleek laptop in my cabin
I leap over cardboard boxes to reach my side of the cubicle and turn on my dilapidated desktop...

....to find a picture of a loved one smiling at me
....to find this picture I'd put up on my desktop in one of my smart alec moods....which doesn't seem quite smart anymore!!!




Why do I do this to myself? Sigh...........

"Why do I do this to myself?"

You mean ... why do you act yourself?

Perfection depends upon perspective. I have woken up in the past to the rustling of leaves and birds chirping, but it feels so movie-like...until you get back to the "Oh my Gawd! 8 'o f-ing clock again!" (wow - real life, real me).

That photo is nice, btw. Something I've virtually read almost whole of my work-life. :D

Oh. Wait. I'm getting late for something again.

Rebelzz said...

Oh well! I have heard this many times.. From where? Oh my own self! It happens to me everyday!

Probably this shud be termed perfect, bcos it happens everyday to everyone unerringly!

Cuckoo said...

Screw the forwards of a 'perfect day'. A perfect day would never include getting up, drives or office!

Btw, one classroom full comments. Keep going gal. You have a wicked style of writing.

On the bright side, milk is good for you. And jumping over obstacles helps keep you er ... fit and fine.

To be or not to be perfect is also not even a question. Imperfection rules :) .. really funny.
