Waking up is hard to do
He’s usually already up and working out before my alarm even goes off. I never would have guessed that I’d ever be able to tune out what gets him up: The classical music station cranked at full blast through his clock radio at precisely 5:15 Central every morning. I guess my years of working until midnight or 2 a.m. conditioned me to tune it out. Nonetheless, my alarm goes off at 5:30 … but I’m a snoozer, not a riser. Eventually I give in, knowing that if I don’t work out or write or take that time to myself it will be lost until tomorrow. Basically its pure will power that pulls me up so early every day, otherwise I’d sleep ’til 8. He smirks when he explains how easy waking up is for him. I just sip my coffee.
I find it interesting because, just as I've tuned out his music blast, he can't hear the AM talk radio that gets me moving. What wakes you up?
What figuratively wakes me are bright flowers, the solid love of dear family and friends, a good book that I didn't want to put down the night before...thats a start! I know what you mean about laundry mountain too- theres only my husband and I and I never understand why or how we accumulate so much laundry every week- its nuts!
