and the plane jumped over the moon

April 18, 2017 1:18am CST
And, lo! She has risen. Early mornings have been resurrected after two glorious weeks of Easter shenanigans. I ate too much food. I learnt about how all sorts of needles are made. I saw the sea. I contemplated life with a picnic breakfast by a lake. I ate far too much chocolate. I saw the Easter Bunny. I emptied the pond. I watched too much on Netflix. I laughed at very old family photos. I struggled into some clothes. I walked barefoot in the cold sand with Toddler Niece, until our toes turned blue. Today I rose at stupid o'clock. I left the house at thisistooearly o'clock. I caught the bus at everybodyisstartingtowakeup o'clock. And, in the bright blue early morning sky, I saw a plane jump over the moon.

A loud noise woke me up at 4:45 this morning, no way to go back to sleep.

@Poppylicious It was the wind, I did not realized how strong it was and now it's even worse. I hate the wind, let's hope it does not move the tiles on the roof of the house.

@LadyDuck I'm not keen on the wind either. Hopefully your wind is less windy now!

Ack, I don't like loud noises waking me up. I'm never sure if they really happened or were simply a figment of a dream. :)

I was wide awake at 5 this morning, read my book until 7 and then fell asleep. Luckily I woke up in time for work.

If I wake up at five I can't go back to sleep at all, due to the fact that I know my alarm is going to screech in my ear at thirty-nine minutes past!

@poppylicious Isn't life just fine and dandy, full of surprises and the opportunity to vote.

Yeah The past few mornings I got up too early too because I had to pee. And I had to get up really Sunday morning because of Sunrise service.

Unfortunately my early rise is a regular occurrence. And don't mention needing to pee! I really need to piddle but I'm on the bus and have at least thirty minutes till I get home!
