Why am I Awake at this Hour

It is 6:22 a.m. EDT as I write this and I've been up for 2 hours already. I have no idea why. Today is the first day of my summer vacation. Even on regular school days, I don't have to get up until 5:30.
My plan was to go ahead and take the dogs out and then go back to bed. By the time I got upstairs, K and already made the bed. There's something about a made bed in the morning that I cannot disturb, so here I am online instead.
I should look at this as an opportunity to get some writing done. That won't happen without the liberal application of caffeine. Having written those words, I'm off to make coffee.
I hope y'all had, are having, or will have a great day.

I have been awake since about 3:30 an EST, and am being conservative with my coffee because it is getting low and I do not want to run out of coffee and have to go back out to the store or order any online yet. I am moving to a new apartment next week.

@marlina It is slightly smaller. But this one has a walk-in closet, and the other one does not.

@Chellezhere "a walk-in closet" is a lovely asset

@DWDavis Oh, dear. Yes, you should have done. Yesterday I set my alarm for 8:00am and it woke me up but then I went back to sleep and when I woke up again it was 9:20am!

@sharonelton This morning I did much the same thing. I had planned to get up at 7 and didn't until 8:40 when my phone rang.

I wake up sometimes early well who am I kidding? Everyday the cat insists on being fed like at 5 AM in the summer and 6 in the winter. I would ignore him, but he has pica and if he isn't fed he will go for socks or gloves or any kind of soft material he can find. it is best to keep him well fed.

You’re correct, there’s something about a made bed. And that’s why I don’t make mine. 
About the time you get adjusted to being off it’ll be time to get up at 5:30 AM again.
