Early To Rise

This morning I woke up at the usual time for me to go to work. I figured out that I could not get back to sleep and I got up.

It is quiet here that early.

If I feed the cats first, then they leave me alone.

I have a mental list of what I want to get done before the rest of the house wakes up.

I am going to make it a physical list to keep myself honest.

Most of the day is going to be devoted to Caroline since she is moving into her apartment this weekend. We have those last-minute items that she needs. She is doing a good job of getting her stuff together for the move. I am sure we will have a list after she moves in.

There are household chores that need to be done and I am going to use the morning for that.

I was such a night owl for so long as my friends attest to. Now I am an early riser and tend to go to bed around 10 PM or so.

Each have their advantages and disadvantages.

I started to flip when I worked at Del Rey since I had to get up a 6 AM. Having Caroline finished the flip. I don’t think I could go back.

It does mean I don’t party late at conventions like I use to but that is a game for the young. It also means there are less drinks spilled on me by carousers.

I am grateful for the ability to wake up early.
