The Distractions of Life

I came home yesterday intending to do some form of exercise. However, the sight of my inviting bed and soft pillows beckoned me.

"Ok, I'll just rest for a few minutes. 20 minutes wouldn't do any harm, right?"

So without further ado, I flopped onto the bed with a grateful sigh. Man, I didn't realise how tired I actually was. I hugged my bolster a little tighter and closed my eyes.

The next thing I knew, the sound of my ringing phone jarred me from my fitful slumber. An hour had slipped by. So much for my 20-minute power nap. A cheerful friend was the culprit who woke me up. He did not seem the least bit repentant for doing that.

"Wah, if I didn't call, you'd be sleeping right up till morning hor?" he chortled. I shamefacedly said that he was right - this had happened before. A short nap had turned into a full-blown sleep marathon all the way till dawn the next day.

We chatted for a long while before I realised that it was way past dinner time. And I was hungry. So much for exercising before feasting away.

Life really is indeed full of distractions.
