THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY - THE HUMAN HIBERNATION INSTINCT

Today's TFT:

Do you think that humans have any amount of hibernation instinct in them?

LOL!!! I know that sounds so funny but, think about it. Back in the day... before electricity & natural gas kept the lights and heat on all day... what did humans do when it was freezing cold out? I think they slept! I think they curled up in a little ball together and said "Screw that! I ain't goin' out there!"

I find that in the winter I am way tired, and I have way less energy. So I was thinking about this today because it is like 30 degrees and snowing and I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to start my day! I didn't have any desire to leave the warm comfort of my bed, and it took about 3 cups of coffee and a good hour and a half to wake up!

However, on Saturday of last weekend it was like 70-something degrees and I woke up early, and got ready to go before I had even had one cup of coffee! That day I totally kicked butt with yardwork and housecleaning. I can honestly say that I haven't done much since it started snowing on Sunday afternoon, and I have to have something to blame this laziness on!!

So I am going to blame the natural human hibernation instinct for the fact that it is 11:00 in the morning, I have had 5 cups of coffee now, and I still want a nap!

Maybe I can do some research and get doctors to diagnose people like me with this syndrome! Only instead of just simply perscribing me a nap they will probably make up some kind of medicine for it that can cause things like elephantitis of the big toe, heart attacks, and irritable bowel syndrome......

I would have to agree. I have so much more motivation in the summer and when it is nice outside!

And YES you and Rob kicked some butt this past weekend in your yard and it looks GREAT!
