Yesterday morning I was feeling particularly lazy.

And kind of headachey and tired.

And hungry.

I very much wanted to go to the deli and get an egg wrap for breakfast but I was secretly hoping my boyfriend would volunteer to do it. Meaning: I didn’t want to go at all. I just wanted it to magically appear before me.

I’ll stay here! I thought. ALL WARM AND INSIDE!!! I AM TOO TIRED TO WALK FIVE SECONDS TO THE DELI!

Then I realized that sometimes it’s good to do things you don’t really want to do. Even if it’s a really short walk outside to end of the block for breakfast. I looked over at my boyfriend who was glued to his laptop, scrambling to get a few things done that he never has time for during the week because he works so hard.

“Egg wrap?” I suggested, putting on my sneakers.

“You don’t have to do that!” he said. “I can go with you!”

“I know,” I said. “But you’re busy. I got it!”

Because I have two legs, you know. And sometimes being lazy is just not a good excuse. And being in a relationship means sometimes you have to be the one to get the egg wraps, even when you don’t feel like it.

I picked up his bag of dirty laundry on my way out the door and dropped it at the laundromat.

And then I proceeded onto the deli.

And you know…

It wasn’t cold out at all.

And it felt wonderful to be outside in the fresh air in this crazy bustling city.

Also, when you are the one who goes to get the egg wraps, you can buy gummi bears too because you’re the one in charge of buying things.

It’s a wonderful responsibility, after all.
