Maybe Later Marcus, Let me Sleep

Marcus Aurelius was the philosopher King of Rome and would write advice to himself which became the famous 'Meditations' philosophy book and i have a copy and it does have some great advice such as 'Focus on what you can do, and not what you can't. There is nothing you can do about the past or future, you can only influence the present' and my present currently includes a hangover of Biblical proportions thanks to the works Christmas Party yesterday afternoon, evening and night.
Luckily Mr Aurelius does have a jaunty little antidote for dragging yourself out of bed in the morning although cocktails hadn't been invented in 2BC so i feel justified in saying Thanks Marcus, now sod off and let me sleep in peace until i feel human again.  
The Roman Emperor's words are that: 'In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present- I am rising to the work of a human being.
to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world not to lie in the bed-clothes and keep myself warm?'
Firstly, Marcus lived in balmy and humid Rome, he didn't wake up with a tounge which felt like it was wearing a carpet and see an inch of frost on his window-sill and face taking half hour to put on enough layers to make it almost impossible to walk just to pop down to the supermarket for milk and secondly, he may have thought differently if he had necked enough alcohol to float a small Russian battleship the afternoon, evening and night before and rolled in at some ungodly hour and fall unconscious on the bed while trying to unbuckle his shoes.
In those circumstances yep, the laying in bed-clothes keeping myself warm looks pretty damned inviting although at some point i do plan to read his book to see what he says about deleting photographs from friends facebook pages because i seem to recall a table top, a Karaoke version of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' and the words 'Are you OK as that was quite a tumble'.
