Today morning

It was a dark night, the sun had given up and bid adeiu much earlier that day. No one dared venture outside the cosy confines of a (n artificially) warm home or car because, lets face it, we aren't all that brave.
I went to sleep nursing the last vestiges of cold, fervently hoping that it would by history by the break of dawn. After a very promising night of no jarring sounds emnating from my vocal chords, I woke up to a dim shaft of light peering in through the blinds. There was a gentle pitter patter going on, and in my befuddled state, I couldn't comprehend why someone would leave their bathroom tap on. Once the cobwebs of sleep gave way to consciousness, I realized it was the rain against the glass pane.

Got up, took shower, started.
