Morning Rant


What a beautiful morning!
The sun woke me this morning at around 830am.

The sun rarely wakes me.
My alarm on my phone does.
Yesterday while packing to move into a new place, I took down all the curtains in my house.
That included the heavy red corduroy I had hanging in the bedroom.
They did well to block the light.
So the sun woke me today.

I always thought that concept to be old-fashioned.
"Being awoken by the sun"
It's just so poetic.
I feel so literary now that it has happened to me and I noticed.
And it was nice.
I did not feel rushed or late or that I had slept in too late.
I felt relaxed.
I know this is because my tutoring appointment was cancelled today.
That has freed up my entire day.

I am going to pack pretty much all day today.
Maybe go out for a little drive, wash my car.
I need to vacuum the interior.
I also want to go out and skate a little bit today.

My tummy is coming back from the dead.
I thought I had killed the pouch.
But it's coming back.
And I have not been skating, like, at all.
Ever since I got a new car I have not been on it at all practically.
So I need to get back on that thing.

With skateboarding, it's weird.
Once you spend some time off the board, your body forgets really easily.
It forgets what it feels like.
It forgets that it had forgotten to be afraid.
So that when you step up onto the deck, the fear lingers.
The fear of falling returns.
And then you don't skate as well.
To skate well, you have to remove your fear.
It's the fear itself that makes you fall.

I've made some delicious coffee this morning.

And now I have just found out that I may not be moving in my stuff tomorrow.
I may have to wait until the weekend.
But I have already arranged to borrow a truck from my sister-in-law.
I'm taking her to the airport in exchange for the truck.
bummer.

Well, maybe I can still move some stuff over the weekend.
It depends on how dirty the apartment is from the last tenant.
My mom needs to do a walk-thru with her today or tomorrow.
And after that I can start cleaning.
See, I was planning on doing the cleaning in there tomorrow evening and then move in everything Friday and over the weekend.

Now it looks like next week.
Good thing I didn't pack as much stuff.
At least I have until the 5th until all my services get turned off here at the house.
What would I do without my DSL? Cry, I think.

Not being able to have my internet up would make me kinda crazy.
I get on the net almost first thing in the morning.
And I don't have cable, so it's not like I could do that instead.
The internet is like my "morning paper."

This coffee is amazing.
I'm slowly waking up.
It's going to be hot today.
I need to be ready.
