#01 Humans are animals, too | Some days it's okay to be sleepy

coco's "Humans are animals, too" series🐶#1

This morning, snow was fluttering down.

In the afternoon,
after finishing my lesson at my jazz teacher's home,

I noticed that the teacher's cats weren't around.

The two cats who love me so much
and always come rubbing up against me.

I hadn't seen them even once today.

When I asked the teacher,

"Are the cats not here today?"

She said they had been sleeping since this morning,
as if they were hibernating.

"The temperature dropped sharply today, and
I wonder if the atmospheric pressure or something is having an effect?"

the teacher said.

Now that she mentioned it, my own dog

didn't come out of his crate this morning,
(he usually comes flying out, wagging his tail)

and he had been quietly curled up and sleeping all day.

Watching the animals like that,
I feel a sense of relief.

In terms of natural biorhythms,
I guess today is just a day to be sleepy.


Yes, today is a day where it's okay to be sleepy.

I had a headache the moment I woke up this morning,
and my body felt heavy, so

I couldn't get up at all,
and I couldn't even see my husband off,

so I can somehow justify myself.

I slept a little longer than usual,
and managed to get up, but

my head felt foggy all morning long.
I didn't get anything done. lol

But hey, it's just the laws of nature, right?

It's somehow a relief.

Following the natural biorhythms,

in the flow of nature

Surrendering to the waves of nature

When I watch animals acting that way,
somehow, I feel relieved.

We all have those days, don't we? Days when we're sleepy.
We all have those days, don't we? Days when we just feel spaced out.

Today is a sleepy day. It's a day where it's okay to be sleepy.

Because nature has decided it so.

See, humans are animals, too.
