The Lazy Me...

Have you ever come across friends or relatives who bid Bye after a long conversation making essential additions such as “Come home someday” (Genuinely or Just for the heck of it). I happened to meet a friend who said the same and I said yeah sure. She came home one fine morning and asked me to get ready and keep up my words. Oh ok? Well, I was too lazy that day because of the cloudy weather which tempted me to be of no use the entire day. I also felt like cuddling under the quilt; sleep all day with the slow old romantic songs playing in my ears and the thought of singing those songs also made me feel ridiculously lazy. I kept her waiting for a long time and could see her expression changing each time I looked at her (lazily). She almost flushed red when I brought a pile of books, magazines, photo albums etc and scattered them on the table where she sat waiting for me and said “Enjoy reading”. After an unspecified delay, I was unwillingly ready.

Honestly, I go to her place only to pamper the cute pet she owns. Dogs and cats make me happy, like a lot. Right now I don’t own either of them because of some unnecessary restrictions. It was an awesome day with zoyi. Zoyi? It’s the name of the dog. I’ve been to her place twice, once when zoyi was a pup and again now after it seemed a lil grown up. As soon as zoyi saw me it barked, which actually made me alert and my laziness vanished just for five seconds. But my eyes didn’t stop looking around for a better place to sit lazily, somewhere near the window. But zoyi was barking at me and made me wonder if I looked like a monster? I checked myself so many times. Zoyi is my hair scaring you baby dog, baby dog I mean? My friend’s family members explained zoyi being annoyed at new comers, which made me smile (lazily).

But my friend’s family members are the loveliest people I have ever met in life. They treated me like I was someone very special to them and my laziness which was following me all the way from my home passed out of sight very quickly. They were very certain that I would join them for lunch. I wasn’t hungry so was hesitant at first. I told them I wouldn’t eat anything, I looked up after two blinks from where I sat and found everyone standing and staring me in the face with blank expressions. I just had to say “OK”. And then the food was served. Pamper me, compliment me, but don’t feed me when I am not hungry, please *sob sob*. I didn’t feel out of place at all. I was more comfortable and cheerful.

Later in the evening I took zoyi for a walk, in fact people thought zoyi was taking me for a walk (he he). It was a fun-lazy-day, with oodles of pamper which flushed the negative thoughts off my mind and kept me alive with the fact that “I’m Special”.

I got back home and was back to the normal mode – lazy!
