I am a morning person. I know - to many that is equivalent to confessing to murder. Sorry, I can't help it. I wake up between 5:00-5:30 most mornings without needing an alarm clock. I'm so excited if I can sleep until 6:30 on a Saturday. I must admit that I am jealous of those who can easily slumber far into the morning hours like 9:00.
I think I took it just a little too far, though, when leaving for my vacation. I drove to my mother's home the day before since it would cut about an hour and a half off my over 12 hour trip Saturday. I set the alarm for 3:30 AM (someone just winced) so I could leave by 4:00. I went to bed by 9:30 and slept straight through - to 2:15. Once awake, I couldn't go back to sleep again. So rather than just lay there wasting time, I got up and was in the van before 3:00. I must say that driving that time of morning across country is peaceful. Not much traffic. No speed traps (not that they worry me anyway!).
I enjoy driving so the ten and a half hour trip isn't too bad. But I rather enjoyed the fact that by the time everyone else was just getting up, I was more than half-way to Kokomo. It made the trip seem so much shorter!
I know many people shudder at the thought of getting up that early. But I wanted to let all those people know just one fact - the sun rises slowly, not all at once!
Have a great day!
