first thing in the morning
I am so tired. Mornings are just not worth the effort. Oh, what a BEAUTIFUL sunrise. No, no, no, no. Go back to bed. Wait until breakfast, with all its nasty hot cereals and slimy eggs, goes away. I need a decent hour to rise. After all the flurry of people going to work has subsided. A.M. rush hour? Oh kill me, kill me now! I can't think. I can't function. How could I ever use a hair dryer at 6 a.m. and not feel like just pulling my hair out instead?
Why not wait until the day is established? Give me time to adjust. If I have to be some place at 8 a.m. I will need to raise at 6 a.m. because I can't function at full capacity. If I need to be some place at 1 p.m. no problem. Give me 15 minutes and I'm out the door.
Eight a.m. doesn't really even need to exist. And those songs that get stuck in your head first thing in the morning. AAARRRGH! It's never anything you like and usually it's something you really DON'T like. And not the whole song either. I know lyrics to hundreds of songs but first thing the morning I know one line of one insane commercial and I'm force to repeat it, in my mind, over and over and over and over AND OVER!
Ever hear the advice to get up first thing in the morning and exercise? In fact get up an hour early to exercise. Are you CRAZY? My body objects to even a clumsy move from the bed to the bathroom first thing in the morning, Now you want me to do what? No.
My closet takes on a whole different look first thing in the morning. It seems clouded in mystery. What to wear? Stand and stare and stare and stare. Pull stuff out until the bed is covered with the rejected choices. The dull thought that someone's going to have to put all this stuff back lurking in my mind. And how do I know what the day is going to be like when it has only just launched? How do I know what I am going to feel like wearing when it's only first thing in the morning.
Morning Annoyances:
* The Alarm Clock
* Log online and forget why.
* The smell of coffee. Later this can be
good but not at 6 a.m.
I'm sorry but this has to be said. Nothing is charming or inviting or interesting, first thing in the morning. It just isn't.
