Becoming an Early Riser 009
Back from vacation. I woke up early, not 5 a.m. early, but before 8 a.m. almost every day while visiting my sister last week.
I felt so...productive. When I get up early, I feel so much more productive; probably because I am! :)
Plus, with the summer months and going outside to work in the yard, or do fun things, it's so much cooler.
I have a ton of summer projects to complete, so I'm going to make good use of early rising to get them done before 2 p.m. so I don't pass out from heat exhaustion.
So, I'm how many weeks into this adventure, six or so?
It's starting to feel natural...you know, to wake early, to desire to wake early, and to go to bed early so I can wake early.
Last night, around 10:30 or so, a friend of mine brought over some furniture she was selling to me, and my sister, but now not my sister because I'm keeping the hutch...tee hee, it matches my dining table perfectly.
Another story for another time, but I had driven back from Louisiana yesterday morning, started at 7:30 a.m., and I was super tired. I'd planned to go to be before dark and get up at 5 a.m. this morning. But, she's selling her house, closing on Friday and needed to check that delivery off her list and who am I to complain? I mean, she sold me a beautiful two drawer chest and a hutch for $20 each...I paid $30 each, AND they delivered it! So, of course I forfeited sleep and stayed up.
As it were, I ended up staying awake until almost midnight, hence I rose at 6:30 this morning, which felt late! Hahahaha. Who would have ever thought those words would come out of the end of my fingers? My friend, Jim, would love it. He's a super early riser, though I suspect part of his is due to drinking alcohol. Two drinks at night almost always makes me wake up earlier than usual, but I rarely drink, let alone two drinks in one night, and if I do, that's the most I'll drink, most of the time.
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, I'm liking rising early. I like how it makes me feel productive. I like how much more energy I seem to have because I am more productive and being productive is something I value. So, on that note...having accomplished my first task of the day (writing this post), I'm going to hit the 'publish' button and get busy with the jagillion other tasks I want to accomplish this month.
