I do more before 9am….

than the damn Army does all day and I’m getting a little tired of it.


Oh sure, there are some good things to be said for getting up at 4:30am. By 9am the initial work stuff is finished. I’m neat and organized and ready for the first bombshell or the first “I need this” email to arrive. By Noon, I’ve done prepwork for the next day and blog posts have been written. By 2:30, I’m beginning to fade but still quietly sitting in on those phone calls and even more quietly patting myself on the back for getting everything done – and being ahead of the game. By 4:30, I’m done.

And that’s where the problem lies. I can’t BE done at 4:30. I do have a family and they generally frown upon a quick dinner and bed at 4:30. Now I’m trapped in this weird cycle of falling asleep very, very early and waking up very, very early. Even if I wanted to break the cycle, I can’t because the dogs and cats are quite happy with this new schedule, thank you very much – we want our food now, it is 4:45am after all!


OK back to work, darn it.
