Even on the weekend, I generally wake up at my normal time
of 5:00 a.m. I have done it for so many years that my body rises to
consciousness regardless of when my alarm clock goes off. I actually enjoy the
early rise on weekends. While many people look forward to the time to sleep in,
I look forward to the quiet.
A cup of coffee (well, two pots) and news on the radio let
me slip into the day with ease instead of rushing into it from the moment I awake.
I start laundry, read headlines, and catch up with twitter and other social
media. Even the noise around the neighborhood and from the airport is lacking
during the early morning hours.
Now that football season is over, getting up early also
gives me the chance to nap in the afternoon, a luxury reserved only for special
days.
Due to the hectic nature of my schedule in the coming months
and this being the last unscheduled weekend until May, I have enjoyed the early
mornings to make the absolute most of my free time – and the nap to give me a
little rest going into the week. My house is mostly clean and all my meals are
prepared and packaged for the week, so I can head to bed relaxed and ready to
step into a busy week.
Now I just have to keep it all together.
