Its morning and I am awake. I actually woke up a couple of hours ago, for real. See, I was woken up at around 6:00 am by extremely loud thunder and lightning, but the bed was cozy and I didn't really see any benefit in waking up if the lights could be going out any minute... So then I was woken at around 7:00 am by one heck of a downpour, but the steady rhythm of the rain lulled me back to sleep...
At 8:00 am my alarm went off and I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and went in search of coffee. I could -- easily! -- have slept longer but as I'm trying to reset myself to waking up earlier it didn't really seem prudent to see how long I could sleep in today. Last night I decided that 8:00 am was the time beyond which I would not sleep, so at least I stuck to that plan.
And now... now I'm reading news and finishing breakfast and prioritizing the things I need to get done today. Suddenly lots of stuff that had seemed to be non-urgent are now suddenly much more so if I'm going to be taking off to foreign climes for months at a time.
