I keep meaning to sleep in on a Sunday! Get some down time till at least 7am, maybe even one day, someday, hit the big 8am! But so far it's not happening. I seem programmed to shoot out of bed at 5am, or earlier have mercy, each and every day. This is irrespective of how much sleep I get the night beofre. 7 hours, 5 hours, 2 hours, it doesn't matter, come 5am I'm up and about and ready to rock! (Though after 2 hours sleep it's more like wobble..)
There are some drawbacks to this early morning lifestyle:
1. No one else is ever awake! I share the sunrises with the hamster who frankly, I feel, is a bit jaded on the subject. And if you wake folk up to share the experience... well let's just say that I've seen my imminent death reflected in the glare of too many people to try that again soon!
2. Nothing is open. All the shops and that are closed for the silly reason that no one goes shopping this early.
3. Winter makes waking up at 5am a whole new experience that delves into masochism and pain with joyful abandonment! I will admit that instead of my usual summer bed-ejection of joy, it's far more a sort of semi-slither of deepest remorse! It's so.... frikkin'...COLD!!!
4. Getting up quite so early means I tend to go to bed early as well. 9pm rolls around and Jo is semi-conscious on the couch. Hit 10pm and I'm face down in a sticky patch sleeping in a position that will bring great delight to a chiropractor for many years to come. Mind, I'm not much of a party animal or tv watcher so this last one is not the curse my booze swilling, party packing friends seem to think it is.
So anyway let me go seize the day, seize the jersey and seize the breakfast bananas! And a good morning to you, whatever time you get up!
