5 a.m. Beep!Beep!Beep!
5.15 a.m. Sit up in bed. Painfully prise open eyelids to see the darkness
5.21 a.m. Still sitting in the same spot.
5.25 a.m. Groan loudly. Why should I be the only one awake?
5.31 a.m. Drag one leg off the bed and then fall back on pillows. Oh, they’re so soft!
Spend next 15 minutes staring into inky blackness and tell self that exercise is for wimps and losers. Wait to hear any other sounds of stirring in the house and stay in the warmth of the comforting cushions.
5.55 a.m. Wake up to foot prodding me in the ribs and her voice saying, ‘Will you get up, you lazy bag of bones? Let’s get you out there in the fresh air! It’s good for you! Come on! Rise and shine. The sun is out!’
5.56 a.m. Growl in anger at mistress and tell self, ‘Next life, I promise you that I’ll be the human and you’re going to be the dog!‘
