I woke at 8am this morning.
My phone woke me up. No, no one was calling. It was the alarm. The phone alarm.
Anyway.
I woke up.
It was hot.
The heater is so efficient that it gets to be too hot once morning arrives and the sun's rays begin to penetrate my bedroom windows.
So I turned off the heater, thought about going back to sleep for a half hour or so, changed my mind, and started to get ready for the day.
What I do is, I throw my covers off my body, then I turn off the heater.
I yawn a couple of times as I go to the living room to open my blinds, let in a little light.
Then, I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
After that, I go back into the living room and squat down by my big book of CDs to pick something appropriate for the first-music-of-the-day.
I usually choose something mellow with a little kick to help wake me up, but nothing too hard. Like I would not play Dokken first thing in the morning.
Come to think of it, I don't think I would ever play Dokken.
I don't have any of their stuff anyway.
After I set the mood, it's coffee time.
I used to drive thru Starbucks everyday.
But that got expensive once gas prices shot up.
So now I buy a bag of Starbucks coffee from Walgreens cuz it's cheap.
And I make it at home.
Now, granted, I have to get up earlier to make the coffee and be able to drink at least a cup or two.
But I deal with it because I cannot afford not to.
I ride the bus now.
I only use my car when I have to.
But mostly, I ride the bus.
I skateboard to my bus stop, which makes it kinda fun.
Oh, crap.
I gotta go catch my bus...
