Never enough time

My phone is charging, I need to put laundry in the dryer, and I do not have shoes on yet. I thought I would clean this morning, but I am not.
In about twenty minutes I will go out the door.
This is Monday.
Other than just not moving very fast, nothing is better or worse Monday as opposed to any other day.
I did stay in bed until 5 a.m. this morning. I think because I changed allergy medicine and took the new one last night. They are just over the counter remedies, but I felt that the one I had been taking had lost its efficacy.
I usually get out of bed by about 4:40, but my alarm is set for 5. Calming the cough let me sleep longer this morning. Sleep is necessary for healing.
I hope you have a terrific Monday. I am out the door to meet my ride. I do have lunch packed, so that is good. Are you ready for your day?

I slept in until 8am this morning usually I'm up at 4am for work but I had today off. I did some cleaning this morning now getting ready to head to an appointment an hour away. I hope you have a good day and you start feeling better soon.

Changing the meds helped a lot. I like days off when I can stay at home.

I was awake around 5ish. I can never really sleep for all that long, because the city's traffic noise bothers me. Once it disturbs my sleep enough, the cats go into the "You're Awake!" mode, and that's the end of sleep for me. The fact that my husband needs to be up early also doesn't help.
I am plotting out the next chapter in which I go back to being able to sleep past 6 again... Oh, such a blissful thought.

My body does not do that, not at all. Even when I was young, I did not do it.

@GardenGerty Oh, I used to be able to enjoy sleep. Now, between a snoring husband, annoying city traffic, stress, and fuzzy alarm clocks... Well, there are reasons I've been awake since 1ish and am now on here instead of trying to get back to sleep.

I have been sleeping soundly. My body wakes up before the alarm sounds.

@Vree0937 It is possible, I guess. I know the dream cycle is 90 minutes or 1.5 hours.

@GardenGerty I read that human body will be wake up every 1.5 hours, it just when we're young, immediately we sleep again. But when getting older, more used to wake for a while

If I get up at 5 I have just two hours to do things. It is better than nothing, for sure.

My Monday started lazy and then i need to go out and do some errands, going to government offices and then i had to bring my puppies to the vet for their vaccines. All went well. So it’s a good Monday all in all. Now I’m just drinking my hot choco in bed. Resting just before i take a shower.

I hope you feel much better today. I got up a little after six, am watching "The Last Man" episode on Hulu while I drink my coffee. I'm as ready as I need to get, I guess. Kitty ate her breakfast and went back to sleep on my bed.

The allergy meds are helping. I am just tired because no matter what my mind thinks, my body knows it is old.
