Becoming an Early Riser 003
One week in and so far so good.
Granted, I stayed up late on Friday night, but Saturday night I was in bed by 9:30. I also did not set the alarm on Saturday or Sunday morning, but was up before 9 a.m. both mornings, which means I slept almost 11 hours Saturday night!
So, here's a dilemma...what do I do this summer when I'm off contract and I don't have to be a work every day and every night is essentially a weekend night? Do I stick with my 10 p.m. bedtime, 5:15 a.m. morning alarm? I have plans to build a patio, by myself might add, but in Texas, one cannot live long doing that in the afternoon, so maybe there's my answer...my motivation to rise early, work on the patio before the heat sets in...which in July is 10 a.m. Yeah, no shit. Already, this morning when I went out to cover up the 'whatever it's called that my chimes bang against,' so they wouldn't wake my neighbors, it felt too warm to me, for 5:30 a.m., that is. So, July's going to be even worse. Well, I guess I solved that dilemma...keep my schedule.
Now to tackle the idea of early to bed on the weekend. I think, for this work, I have to, don't I?
This morning I got up at 5:15, turned off the alarm, which is still across the room, reset it for 6:15 and laid back down. I got up in 10 minutes, reset it back to 5:15 and stayed up. In my defense, I allowed myself to stay up and watch the LAST EPISODE EVER of Game of Thrones with my daughter. Since we went to 7:30 mass, we started the show late, hence my late bedtime at 11 p.m.
These are the things one must navigate, I suppose. Little blips in one's daily schedule, but GOT is over, Daenerys is dead, John is off with the Wildings, Arya's going west young woman, Sansa is Queen of the North, and Bran is king of the 6 remaining kingdoms, and Tyrion is his hand. All is well in King's Landing and beyond...as far as we know. 😉
