The winter is here and the struggle is real

It is such a unique feeling when your evil little alarm clock wakes you up in the morning and you realize that the sun has still not risen, and the cruel, cold weather from the night before is still out there to bite you. What you feel next is the silly little desire to call in sick, or even quit your job just because you can stay in your warm, snugly, welcoming bed and continue the pleasant dream that you are struggling to remember. Then, of course, you press snooze and enjoy the five minutes of sleep that seem to last for thirty minutes, or for one minute. After you repeat the same action two or three more times, your conscience kicks in and tells you to man up, wake up, get up, and wash up. This is where you think that you should have taken a shower before bed so that you do not have to get naked, sprinkle water on your body, think about your future, and get that feeling when the shower tap is turned off leaving your body extremely vulnerable to the lightest breeze of air.

Nevertheless, the shower freshens you up and chases away the thought of quitting your job. Instead, you concentrate on how you are going to get to work. Regardless of the manner you select to travel to work, a bit of profanity is almost guaranteed when your pretty little face gets exposed to the lurking cold wind. Try not to say those words out loud as you would probably want to avoid an awkward tension before you start your day.

I should really go take a shower now.

A day in a cafe

Doing some work in a cafe having a cup of coffee and consuming some caffeine.

There are two teenagers apparently on a date. The boy is absolutely shaking inside. He has the most awkward laugh and touches his face and hair way too many times than a normal human being should. The girl, on the other hand, seems to be in control and sees through her date. She is confidently throwing jokes and leans into the boy at every possible moment. It is almost if the boy is avoiding eye contact because he would not know what to do next. He might even be having trouble regulating his respiratory system. Don't breath too heavily, brother, that might seem a bit weird to your date, but make sure you do not faint.

There is also this another guy sitting alone. He may look quiet and concentrated, but, oh no, his eyes are smoothly moving around the room while his ears strive to catch almost every word and sentence coming out from the mouths around him. If you ask the next person coming through the door to identify the dodgiest guy in the cafe, the finger will definitely be pointed to this guy sipping on his hot, tasty beverage while observing everything around him at the same time he is typing away on his laptop and updating his blog.
