Hugh ponders the precipice of achievement

dunno what I’m looking at, I just hope it’s the good side of Hugh and not the bad

Hugh has his own novel way to get out of bed.

Having your feet stuck out like that makes them cold. Soon enough, Hugh will get up in search of socks or crawl back under his toasty blanket.

Stuck between? It looks like the urge to rise has been defeated.

Hugh needs to stay away from the cyanoacrylate.

The urge to stay put always wins.

Relatable, Hugh.

Exactly where I am right now. Lying in bed attempting to be awake.

I find myself doing this a lot lately

Hugh Gurtzenbaumer; or just HughG, as his friends call him (behind his back).

What a huge weight to lift up and out of bed.

It always takes a Hugh effort…

( ͡~ ﹏ʖ ͡~ )

Most of my mornings are like that.

I like the pajama’s detail of the folds and lines

Hugh’s hungover…the edge of the bed.

Looking for your slippers?

Funny, I have woken up in the same position a few times as a young lad in my navy days.

Slippers are in kinda weird spot.

Hugh’s been thinking his Sleep Number Bed has his number — and it’s up.

Never a morning person in the first place, Hugh wonders how anyone could be, especially since — after his latest birthday — someone keeps fiddling with the Gravity and Inertia controls.

Good morning Balladeers!

It’s not going to be a good day when it starts with a cardboard insert wedgie.

As I have gotten older I find this an increasing occurrence

This is where pets add motivation.

It is wonderful being retired !!

that’s me everyday… (except that my name isn’t Hugh…)

I have much the same problem, except I don’t hang off the bed like that. I just pull the covers over my head.

hugh should try my approach – wake up with a 3:30 a.m. leg cramp…

Usually the bladder casts the deciding vote…
