When I worked full time I used to get up about 5:40 most mornings. I sent a text to my friend or she sent me one, just to say we were still breathing! I went straight down stairs to let out the dog, I had Boysie then and Kizzie my cat, I made myself a cup of tea and took it back upstairs.. Boysie used to come up with me and made himself comfy on the bed. I had an ensuite, so showered with him in view, and every other day washed my hair.
I was back downstairs in my undies with my dressing gown on by 6:30. I usually had a cereal or porridge, another cuppa, made my pack lunch, gave the animals their breakfast and at about 6:45, had on my clothes and I took Boysie round the block.. we'd be back home by 7.. All this with no sound, no radio or TV, I liked it quiet. On mornings when I didn't have my hair to blow dry, I played my piano for about 20mins..then coat on ready to go. I settled the dog, loads of kisses and orders to be good, no piddles in the kitchen please, made sure the kitchen door was closed, and he had fresh water. I had a lady check him at l:00 pm ish. The cat had eaten and gone, she came and went via an upstairs fan light window!
My school bag was by the front door all ready, so all I had to do was pick it up and step the few steps to the car. I was usually driving the 20mins drive to school by 7:25..
I did this for years and I liked the quiet.. so these days when people bounce up to me before I'm awake, its like screaming in my head. Last Friday when we arrived in SW I wasn't well, I'd been awake for a couple of hours in the night and felt 'delicate!' Its difficult to make some people understand that you don't want hugs and loud noise in the morning! Dh knows!!
So I'm sure the person who thought I needed cheering up and loud chat, was surprised when I pushed her away.. but if I hadn't I'd have started screaming, instead of my protestations to just let me be! I am not a morning person, are you?
