Monday Morning

Monday. Waking up early with the help of a warm cup of coffee after two days of too much rest. Fresh clothes to wear because you finally got to the bottom of your laundry basket. After two days of too much TV, drink, and sleep, you wake up with a purpose. You shower with your cup of coffee resting next to the soap because your eyes refuse to adjust to wakefulness. You wash off the dirt that only accumulates from sedentary laziness. Motivated by your penchant for nicotine after a few gray hounds on Friday night, you resolve to run after work. The fresh bay air will expunge the ash from your lungs. You are clean, until next weekend. Monday.
