Didn’t run

meisajDaily Life

I wanted to run this morning… Well more accurate would be I wanted to want to run.

But at 5:45 Edith did her sit up and search for a cuddle partner. Sam was in the other room (not sure if it was Marceline’s coughing or my snoring that drove her out to get sleep in the other room), so Edith slothed over to me and put her head on my chest and eventually get back asleep.

Combine that with some mild nervousness over going to the oral surgeon this morning to get a tooth pulled (one of my molars root cracked and is infected) and I both didn’t fall back asleep but couldn’t get myself out of bed to run.

I did get out of bed by 6:30, have showered, had morning coffee, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and started folding the never ending pile of laundry before stopping to write this post. So it wasn’t unproductive, just not everything I wanted for this morning.

But morning cuddles, always nice .

It’s the little things….

Now that the heat has turned on, morning showers are all that much more comfortable.

I throw my towel over the radiator when I jump in the shower in the morning.  A few minutes later when I step out there is a warm towel waiting for me.  It is a world of difference on a cold morning to use a warmed towel.

It’s the little things that help in the morning.

Every Morning Starts the Same Way

Morning Cat

I wake up every morning to Angelo.  He sleeps on the bed, he follows me around, and most every morning when I sit down to drink some coffee and read the news, he’s right there next to me purring and pawing at my legs.  It’s more dog behavior than cat, but I guess he’s pretty loyal for a cat.

The Idea Is…

The idea is to slowly wake up earlier, to add to my morning productivity.

Currently I wake up at 5:50 AM, do push ups and sit ups, shower, dress, feed Angelo, make coffee or tea, make lunch, put contacts in, brush my teeth and comb my hair, pack my bag and am out the door at 6:35 – 6:45.  It is a lot.

What I want to add to my mornings is some down time to read the news, drink a little coffee while here at home, and maybe write an extended blog entry in the morning.  I figure that needs an extra ten minutes.  Maybe instead of the Aeropress (best coffee maker made by a Frisbee company – or any other company) and use the french press to make coffee instead so I can have that extra cup of coffee without the extra effort.

We’ll see.  Today the alarm went off at 5:30, and then again at 5:45, and I got out of bed at 5:50

And by writing this I’m now running late.

Best of Intentions, Right?
