Help!

I've ... well, slumped, for lack of a better word ... and I can't get up!

Yeah, I'm not even kidding.

I slouched too much on my couch while yet again getting some quality TV time in with my friend hulu.com, and now I'm stuck.

Painfully and hopelessly stuck.

I kid you not.

Here's how it happened. I started watching Glee online. I was tired. I started in a sitting-up-cross-legged position, but as the episode wore on, I uncrossed my legs and slumped down a little into my couch. (Don't judge. My couch cushions are very pillow-like and this is a comfy way to sit.) Then I commenced watching episode two. (This is, after all, why I put off watching shows until there are multiple episodes on hulu. So I can chain-watch them.) I slumped further. And further. And further. Until my bum was about at the edge of the seat cushion. (Those of you who know myself and my couch know this is, indeed, a very deep slump for one as tall as me.) And then the second episode ended and I realized what I had done.

I had gotten myself so far down into my couch cushion that I couldn't sit back up. Why? Because I (sadly, still!) lack the stomach muscles to get myself from a reclined position without the use of my arms (and I was towards the middle of the couch - too far to reach for either arm of the couch to pull myself up against). Oh, and I have this stupid computer in my lap - which I am too tired/weak to move - so I can't use my legs as a bearing to pull my weight against either.

I'm stuck.

I can't think of how to get the computer off my lap without just letting it slide down my legs onto the floor, which I know doesn't sound like such a great plan... But I can't use my legs to lift myself up until I get the computer off my lap.

Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous.

I laughed out loud at myself, then was bummed there wasn't anyone here to a) laugh at me with me, as well as b) maybe help me get off the danged couch.

And then I decided to blog about it. You know, since I'm stuck here with a computer on my lap anyway.

My life is, in a word, awesome.

Or maybe, to use another, ludicrous.

Oh, wow.

I'm starting to wonder why I typed this. And yet, here I am... still typing. I think I'll just hit "publish post" and then try to dig my way out of the couch.

In the future, I'm going to be a little more careful in how I sit. Geeze Louise.

The End.
