Dessert

I woke up with a craving for dessert. On mornings like this, gray and damp, I just want to cuddle in my bed deep beneath covers and eat dessert. It must be something evolutionary. My dogs don't like going out on mornings like this either.  They would prefer, if possible, not to go out at all but to remain indoors and somehow not have to go to the bathroom all day. Unfortunately, this is impossible and I am forced to throw on my rain coat and brace the puppies for the mucky morning. Why can't we all be like the bears and just hibernate on dank days. Ironically, there are bears out of hibernation now terrorizing New Hampshire towns. Hibernation is so nice, but the bears must be hungry too for dessert after their long slumbers. We would be in such better spirits if we followed their lead. Instead, we force ourselves to be above our desires, to embrace indifference to this cold, wet May morning, to be adults!  Really all I want today....is dessert (in bed).
