That is what my favorite client used to say back when I worked as a caregiver. She was the mother of one of the original Microsoft 5. and I still agree with her today. This should be a time I can sleep in if I want.
I was up at 7 am in order to get ready for the nurse. 
Monday she called and said " I will be there at 9 am."
I said "can't you come a bit later" and she said "no, the office gives a route we follow as they don't like us to circle around" so I say okay.
Anyway she did not show up. 
I called the office and they have me down for nurse tomorrow. the shower helper today which I knew was coming at 1;30 pm. Daughter even stayed up to fix me breakfast while I went potty and brushed my hair and took medications and did the nebulizer etc. breakfast was grits and toast in the photo.
Do you like grits? Do you like getting up early?

@bunnybon7 I do not sleep well at all. Many times I wake up around 3 am, I read a bit, then try to sleep another hour or two.

I don't like getting up early, but I have to do it because of my work. But I can say that I got used to wake up early.

@bunnybon7 Normally the first working hour is not the most productive for me. I feel still sleepy.

@bunnybon7 yes because I do not work in an office anymore. I am doing home-based since my business is online. How are you now?

I am not a early morning riser. I prefer sleeping until 10 am if I can, but I have always been a night owl as well.
What you're experiencing with help reminds me of last yr when I had to have Home Health. Inconsistency was the more frustrating.

that is the thing. they are supposed to help with your healing and well being but are often not really helping enough at all

I honestly haven't even tasted grits before lol. I am not a fan of waking up in the morning lol. I do however won't mind waking up early when it is something to look forward to like vacations lol. When we go on vacation we usually get the morning flights so we have to get up early to leave so that is a good thing about waking up because we will have lots to do. When its like a usual day though, I am not a good fan of it lol. I wake up at 8am and start my day then.

I would be really annoyed having to get up early like that for nothing! I hate getting up early. I was going to have to take the puppy to be fixed tomorrow which I would have had to get up early for but the vet had to reschedule. I’m doing a little happy dance lol

I am not, never have been. I find people like me way better if I can just get up when I am done sleeping. Nope not a grits fan either. I remember getting them in the hospital once and they had no sugar for me, I asked what I was suppose to put on them they said salt and pepper. I just could not do it. I needed sugar

I am not a morning person at all. I hate early morning appointments. My last doctors appt was 8:30am. I was up at 7am and didnt have time to eat, shower or even relax with my coffee. It was get up and get on the bus. That is not how I operate. I prefer lots of time to wake up even if it means lying in bed. :-)
