Too Damn Early

Kevin's alarm goes off at 5:15 every morning and he's out the door about fifteen minutes later. (yes, I know, we hate him)

For the longest time I went back to bed after he left.  Then I started over-sleeping because I am so burnt-out so I made a drastic change.  I began staying up until it was time to get ready for work.

Historically I give myself the least amount of time between awake & leaving for work because I will get distracted and next thing I know, I am late.  Not so much recently though.

I am also surprised to report that I have yet to take someones life or fall asleep at work. 

After Kevin leaves I do a few chores to make sure I stay awake.  I start/finish laundry, I start/finish dishes, I make the bed.  I have to wait until the blankets aren't still warm from us or Game Over.  I'm so going back to bed.

After that I sit on the couch and catch up on the dvr.  I drink coffee and have breakfast.  I chill.  This morning is the first morning that I actually took a little snooze.

I am also surprised to report that this has helped my stabby mood at work.  I have yet to understand why but it has.  Also, I am so tired by 9:00 pm that I am not staying up until all hours. 

I tried once to bring the laptop over and convince myself to write but it's just too effing early for anything good to come of that.  I was all caught up on my social media that morning however.

So, that's what I'm up to.  How about you?  What do you do in the morning before work?
