Early Bird October 12, 2005
Our dogs have recently taken to wanting to be let out at dawn. Which is to say 5am, every morning. Most days I stumble to the door, let them out (resisting the urge to kick them up the bum as they go past) and fall back into bed. Sometimes I go back to sleep until the alarm goes off. Sometimes I don’t. Either way I get very irritable and have a lot of trouble getting up when I’m supposed to and I end up running late for work.
This morning I got up when the dogs started to hassle, put on my trackies, runners, big fleecy top and beanie and took Emmylou for a half hour walk. Then I took Indiana for a 15 minute walk. It was quite pleasant. And I’ve managed to have breakfast and spend half an hour phaffing on the internet before quarter to 7.
If I don’t get sidetracked I might manage to get to work early, which will mean I can leave early with a clear conscience and come home and help Mark Foozle-wrangle. So it’s a pretty good start to the day. Let’s just see what the monolith has in store to stuff it up.
One hopes that the monolith has very little in store.
you are so industrious.
The snooze button on my alarm makes me tired and cranky and feel poorly slept, must train myself back to getting up when it first goes off.
