An Attractive Day!

Today I decided to make an effort to make myself look slightly more attractive. I have to admit that I have not really put much effort into my appearance of late, but I am hoping that this will change. Ironically, my reasons for smartening up my visage was to go and apply for a bank overdraft that will hopefully tide me over until my flat is let out. The people move in on the first of April so it will be a good feeling to actually be making some money out of this cursed enterprise!

I'd certainly say that how confidently you walk, how confident you are at dealing with situations and your general feeling towards life changes the more attractive you believe yourself to be. I would say on my best days, on a scale of one to ten I would be about a 6. Maybe if my hair is the right length and the gods are feeling in a generous mood and you catch me in the right light I can be a 7. However, normally I am a 3. At the gym, a 2.

Anyway the point I am trying to make is that I react completely differently when I am feeling unattractive to feeling attractive.

I am finding getting out of bed increasingly difficult in the morning. The only way I have found to do it is to imagine I am Tom Hanks at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. I am in my comfortable landing craft of a bed, a little cold, but pretty safe. Then the ramp goes down, or the cover comes off. I rush for cover which in this case is a towel, but would be a hedgehog defence on June 6th. I immediately rush to create a beach-head by rushing out of my room through to the boiler which I swiftly turn on. I will feel no benefit from this selfless act because I will long have left the flat before any heat comes through. However, I am Tom Hanks, and this suicidal heroism is simply part of my job. After battling my way through to the bathroom I leap into the relative warmth and safety of a sand berm (or warm water) only to have to rush to more cover once my shower is finished.

It could be that I'm thinking too much about this but if it helps me get up in the morning then I suppose it can only be a good thing. How do you people get up in the morning?

In fact, can somebody just clear this up for me? Can you post without being a member here?! I'd like to know!

I've rambled enough

Hope everybody is well!
