Still a bit stiff...

Tell me, would you do this? Have you done this?

I woke up at 5:00 this morning. Once I realized that it was waaaaaaay too early to get up, for me, at least, I tried to go back to sleep. Brent was still asleep and I knew that he sometimes has a hard time sleeping past 5:00. He is also a very light sleeper so I was trying very hard not to jostle or roll or even move. I just lay there as still as possible, trying to go back to sleep.

The next thing I knew, it was 6:20 and Brent was up and in the shower. My arms felt like heavy weights on top of my chest. My neck was stiff from non-use. Everything hurt! And I could tell the reason why everything hurt was because I didn't move a muscle during my last hour of sleep. So I didn't get up right away. I rolled around and stretched and took up the whole bed to soothe my aches and stiffness.

The funny thing was, when I told Brent the story, he laughed and said that he had woken up a little bit after 5:00. All my effort was in vain!
