I Would be in Favor of Morning if ..

There are morning people out there, and there are even morning people who are perky very early in the day. Pretty sure those perky morning people might be struggling with a mental disorder, but I can't prove it. Regardless, I am not a morning person, and certainly not perky in the morning. There might be an argument made that I am not ever perky, and I'm not sure that word has ever been used to describe me. But I digress.

Morning people are fine, as long as they let me sleep. In some ways I wish I were a morning person because it seems more people are morning people than people who are like me who would rather pull the covers over their head and go back to sleep. It seems to be a more acceptable way of life that I wouldn't mind being a part of. But alas, I am not. 

So tomorrow morning when I need to be at my desk at 5:20am to do some go-live testing (technical I.T. talk), I will be there. I am reliable. But I will not be happy, and God knows I will not be perky.

Also - if the testing is successful and goes quickly - you can bet your sweet a$$ I will go back to bed.

As I have said in the past - I would be in favor of morning, if it would come later in the day. Who do I talk to about arranging that?

Top 10 reasons I can’t get out of the house on time to get to work.

I am not a morning person so my morning routine has to be spot on with no deviations or unexpected happenings.

Starting with number ten ..

10) Had to take the garbage out because my son didn’t do it before HE left for work.

9) The clock in the kitchen was wrong so I thought I had enough time to check my email before leaving.

8) Had to clean up cat puke.

7) I thought the pants I was going to wear, fit. They didn't. I had to start over at the closet.

6) Three blocks away I realized I had forgotten my tea, had to go back and get it.

5) Got up late and my son was already in the bathroom. We have one bathroom, I had to wait my turn.

4) Had to find where the bad smell was coming from.

3) Realized I had not made my lunch the night before. Had to make it.

2) More cat puke to clean up.

And the number one reason I cannot get out of the house on time to get to work ....

1) It takes twice as long to get dressed and it’s next to impossible to put a bra on during a hot flash!

From one day to the next

If you live in the Chicago area your whole life, or maybe for just a week - you understand quite clearly that the weather is ever changing. We tend to flip from one extreme to another in a matter of hours which will catch people unfamiliar with this place without the proper clothing or with an umbrella when they need a parka.

Recently we've had some winter days like this -

and this ...

After a few days of freezing temps and windy gray skies we got this-

Brilliant blue skies

and this ....
