Feels like a Monday morning...

[fajrdrako]

I am usually a master at getting up on time. However tired I may be, I usually wake up one minute before my alarm clock goes off, playing CBC-2 into my ear. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to set the alarm. But when I forget to set it....

This morning I was supposed to get up at 7 a.m., but I forgot to set the alarm last night. I probably did wake up at 6:59, but it was dark, and I was sleepy, and I lay dozing for a while, not bothering to wake up properly. After all, the alarm hadn't gone off, right?

Then after a while I wondered. My time-sense was twinging, but I'd been ignoring it. I checked the clock. 7:17. And I should leave at 7:30 to catch my bus. Eep!

I showered, I dressed, I sent out a piece of work-related e-mail, I fed the birds and cleaned the cage, I threw together some lunch, and rushed to the bus stop - and managed to get downtown earlier than usual, so I had time to buy one of maaseru's Christmas presents (with some chatting with the sales' clerk) before buying breakfast at Loeb and arriving at work - on time at 8:30.

Why can't I manage that level of efficiency on other mornings?

Twilight already, at 4:15 or so. It might be still partly light when I go home - I can hope.

I ususally turn off my computer at night. And I usually tell myself when I get up that it would be wiser not to turn it on, but I usually turn it on anyway as I get into the shower, and check my email when I come out, and... try not to take too long with it.

I'll bet there will be no onions tomorrow. We'll see if I'm right!
