ravencallscrows...or, it's too early to be conscious, but i am anyway so i'm going to .
I've never been a morning person. I'm much happier still being awake at 6 a.m. than getting up to start the day then, but somehow i'm coping and adapting. Maybe it's the sleeping until 10-11 on the weekends.
Of late, i've not only been awake at 6 a.m., but reasonably coherent shortly afterwards, and not because of a caffeinated state (for whatever reason- probably the acid- i can't drink coffee in the morning). It's scary. At least by getting to work early i have two or more hours of quiet time before anyone's even around to annoy me, and i get to leave while there's still some hint of daylight in the skies around Puget Sound.
And now for something completely different....
I'm an inveterate people-watcher. This is probably directly the result of having been a wallflower- an observer rather than a participant in life, if you will- for most of my life. Or maybe people just amuse me. There were two of the prettiest women i've seen in a long time on the bus from Magnolia to downtown this morning (and for those of you who know my preferences, no, neither of them was a redhead). They got on at different stops, sat together, but got off at different points. Neither of them are generally on the bus i take downtown in the morning, which is probably why i noticed them, because the same people are generally on it every day.
Yet another huge non sequitur....
It's a good thing i'm downtown in the morning before most businesses open. The daily walking route takes me right past Gelatiamo. Still have really limited appetite, but seem to have stopped losing weight for the most part. Still need to get more regular exercise.
