Reluctant Revelation April 22, 2010

What is getting out of bed and what kind of person must ask themselves this question? After many years of ignorance I’ve realized that this Getting Out of Bed is relative.  At the worst of times there are only two things that will do it, doing something for my sisters that I said I would do (which is a recent development) and vodka.  When I am slightly better than my worst, shopping will also work.  So while I do exit my bedroom (sometimes) I avoid exiting the house at all costs. If I have to be in public I wear sunglasses, inside and out…and headphones.  I am resisting over-stimulation but just saw it as not wanting to talk to people.  I think it’s something I stumbled onto a long time ago and it works much the same way shivering to mimic exercise to create heat does.  It’s a slippery slope that I have no control over.
