it’s not that i don’t like mornings. i’m fond of them in a “get to lay about in my most comfy of clothes drinking rich, sweet, silky coffee and wake up slowly” way. the problem is that five of the seven mornings i get each week (that’s 20 of the 30 i get in a month, just for perspective) are absolutely nothing like the mornings i’m most fond of.
they usually consist of being rudely awakened, one to two hours before my body has acquired sufficient sleep, by a loud, irritating, repetative buzzing noise. there is absolutely no leisure in my typical weekday morning, either. i just launch directly from restful repose to eager beaver to get myself up, presentable and out the door in order to be at work on time. there’s no laying about. there’s no rich, sweet, silky coffee slowly sipped while wearing my most comfy of comfies. there’s only beeping and forgetting of apples and driving in traffic with wet hair and then, the pièce de résistance, the flourescent lights. *sigh* sometmes, i think that’s what i hate most about mornings. ending up in the land of unflattering green tint which hurts my eyes.
that’s often why my first posts of the day, unless i have a very strong idea about what to write and how to write it, sound so dire. i’ve been most recently ripped from my nocturnal womb and thrust, grumpy and rushed, into the cruel, cruel world. you’d be crabby, too. trust me.
You’re preachin’ to the converted, babe. I hears ya…and second that motion!!
The coffee during 5/7 days is nary as sweet whilst consumed amongst photocopies and *work-related* emails and in front of the mocking glare of the window to the world through my monitor.
I’m usually overly dramatic first thing in the morning too….
It’s the most I can do to stay sane in the world of which I don’t really belong (5/7 days of the week).

Without the crappy mornings, what would you have to compare the good ones too? Could be worse. You could wake up 7 days a week to the same exact routine every single day. For instance: I am woken up each day at 6:30AM by some child or another jumping on top of me. Yeah, the first time it’s cute, but really. 6AM on a weekend. *sigh*
Is there a different shade of blue, or do I need to clean my screen and/or contacts?
indeed! i’ve replaced DCE3E8 with BECEDA. thanks for noticing!
Maybe I’m DCE3E8 – BECEDA color blind. I didnt notice a thing.
heather is very sensitive to change.
Hmm. I don’t know if that was a compliment or an insult! But I’m so glad there was a change, because I posted it, then thought I must be imagining things and you’d all think I was crazy.
Instead, I’m just obsessive.
it’s just an observation. every time i make the smallest change you notice it. i like it. it makes me feel like someone cares. =)
