First World Problems

I believe that qualifies as a first world problem, but the struggle is real. When you get all comfy and get your blankets arranged just right, then you have to get up to search for the remote that you could have sworn was right next to you? That’s the worst.

Or maybe when you’re snuggled in bed and have finally found that perfect sleeping position with the covers and blankets perfectly situated, then you realize that you have to pee. Unfortunately, your bladder couldn’t have told you that bit of information five minutes earlier.

I’m beginning to understand that the older you get the more you will fall asleep when you don’t want to and then at night when you actually want to, you can’t. And not being able to sleep when you’re tired is annoying as anything.

Probably on everyone’s list is biting into a chocolate chip cookie only to find that it’s oatmeal raisin. I do like oatmeal raisin cookies, especially when they’re fresh from the oven, but not when my taste buds are expecting chocolate.

If you can think of more of these first world problems, feel free to share. Maybe one day I’ll revisit this topic and do a sequel.

One thought on “First World Problems

  1. I’ll add a first world problem: having a relaxing Sunday afternoon watching TV and you have finally started to doze off (especially sweet because of those previous sleep-deprived nights mentioned in your post) and suddenly the volume of the commercial is so much louder that it jars you fully awake (grrrrrrrrr).
