I am rotting on the couch

My fur baby needed mommy time

My bladder is full but the bathroom steps away.

I look at the remote but my arm will not reach

I am parched but it seems too much

The headache is there, from yesterdays uncalled for sweat and lack of water

There is a corner of my leg not covered by the blanket, I’m chilly yet I do not move

I am surrounded by bathing babies

The couch is moving to the sound of wet moist fur, the licking sounds disgust me

Yet…I can’t

Only thing to make it better would be to have my book held for me.

I am 40

This is my day off
