My eyes open to darkness. I’m laying on my stomach. I don’t so much wake up as come back to life. Psychologists and those that study the mind say that everyone dreams even if they don’t remember it. I don’t believe this. For the most part when my eyes close everything shuts down and it’s a major effort to reboot everything.
Regardless, it’s time to get up. I turn to my left. My right leg goes forward and up at a 45 degree angle. I curl and uncurl my toes slowly. I flex the leg at the knee. A bit of a twinge.
I slowly turn over to the right with my upper torso going first and my lower torso holding. Vertebrae pop and creak in response. I lay on my right and stretch my left leg now.
Back to my left and I sit up. Hold my arms straight out from my chest and interlace the fingers. Pull them back to my body and hear pops as the joints bend. Raise my arms up over my head stretching almost trying to pull them off my body. Lower my left arm perpendicular to my body and push it with my right hand back behind me. A multiple series of popping noises. Do the same for my right.
Everything all stretched out properly. Now I want to go back to bed.
