{Um… I just published this on my old blog because I wasn’t looking carefully in my app when I started. For f*ck’s sake…}
Getting up at 6am in rough y’all. I am such a happier camper if if I can get up at 7am or later, but alas, it will never be possible with my job.
(For those of you who get up earlier just to get things done, my hat off to you. I wish I were an early riser but I just don’t think my body is wired that way. Maybe when menopause hits me for real.)
Yesterday was a good day. I stayed focused on the things I really needed to do and now I’m pretty much ready to welcome students and start the school year tomorrow. I have a tentative plan for the first three days and I have everything I need to execute that plan set up and ready.
I felt wrecked yesterday by 6pm, but then I struggled to fall asleep before 11pm. Story of my life. Tonight I will definitely take a sleep aid.
Today we have a series of meetings that usually drive me crazy because I have so much still to do. I wonder if today they will feel less burdensome, since I’m pretty much ready to go. I plan on letting my training modules run in the background while I’m in said meetings. I’ve taken them all so many times that I don’t have to listen to them anymore.
I gotta get out of bed now and start the day. Blerg. 6am is an ungodly hour. At least it is for me.
Hope you day goes okay.
Thinking of you, and all returning teachers and students, as school re-opens. Hoping for health, learning, safety for everyone. Would be nice if today’s world it was only learning to be wished for….. but reality.
Waking your body early is always hard. Sympathy!
6 am is way too early. Smol Acrobat is up at 6 everyday 😭 I’m just lucky that PiC always gets up with the early kid because I cannot function that early most days.
Good luck with students tomorrow!
I’ve tried for 10 years to be a morning person (since my daughter was born), and it is JUST NOT ME. I’ve gotten up between 5-6:30am almost every day since then, and was miserable. This summer on my parents’ farm in MN, I slept in until 8am every day, and it was FANTASTIC. My biorhythms have always been set later, and my husband sees it as laziness (he prefers to sleep roughly 8:30pm-4:30am). It’s one of the biggest arguments of our marriage. It’s hard when people don’t understand when someone feels so completely opposite!
