Fitting it all in


Morning... Grumble, Grumble...
I still haven't figured out my morning routine. Daily Yoga has gone by the boards, and blogging has clearly not been a priority.

I get up early - with a longish commute ahead of me, I have an hour and a half between rising from my bed and walking out the door. This means I have an hour and some to get breakfast and do whatever else I wish to do with that precious time. It has not been spent in any productive fashion, that's for sure. Mostly I have been doing three things: blog-reading, coffee-drinking, and sleepily blinking.

I am not a morning person, you see. I am not as bad as I was when I was a small child, wandering around still half-asleep while on my feet and earning myself the nickname, "Grandma Murd" from my parents (seriously - they would do a play-by-play commentary track of my progress in the morning in high, creaky granny voices: Oooh - Grandma Murd is moving pretty slow this morning. Yep, she's in especially bad form this morning... They kept this up until the day I cried and everyone - including me - felt very guilty).

Comparatively speaking, Grandma Murd has found the fountain of youth. I actually wake up before I stagger out of bed these days and I am more or less fully awake in less than ten minutes. Compared to my elementary school days, when I mastered the trick of semi-cognitive somnambulation, this is progress.

I will figure this out yet. It just may take some time.
