Why I'm here
Although this by no means is my first day in bed, it is my first documented day in bed.
Time: 13:20
Bedding: white, Alvine Stra from Ikea
Position: propped up on two pillows, with blanket tucked under chin
Dress: jogging pants, t-shirt
Food: bowl of all-bran with raisins
Accessories: phone in case a client calls - and before you presume I am a hooker, let me fill you in...
I am a freelance writer, translator and editor. But I have so little work right now that I spend day after day in bed. Because I don't see the point in getting up quite simply.
I start my day by reaching down by the side of the bed for my laptop then surf, snooze and intermittently check my email on the off-chance I get some work. Today, I'm waiting for an email to come in with the promise of a 1-hour job. I take what I can.
Until then, I'm staying put. It's a guilty pleasure. But it's also a habit I've gotten into. I can't really stray far from home because my clients invariably call with, "I just sent you something to translate, could you do it right away?" Anyway, it's a bit cold to aimlessly wander. Even in my apartment because I'm saving on heating. So I stay in bed you see. Where it's nice and cozy and warm.
