I just had to work up to getting out of bed and doing the dressing thing.
Once I’m in bed it’s completely against the laws of nature to get up again before morning, even if I did go to bed at five for a round (or two) of Little Xander Goes Spelunking. So, my mind was telling me to get up but my body was revolting against the very notion.
