My first sunrise seen and captured in a very long time

I've been awake for about an hour. I used to sleep until eight am most days waking up just before the alarm. But, these days I'm waking up an hour to several before that even if I didn't go to sleep right away.
I'm hoping once I get a bit more caught up I'll sleep better again.
Anyway, I rarely see the sunrise from my house. I always thought it was because our street wasn't at the right angle to see the sun come up, but maybe that isn't the reason why after all.
This week we're going to get my husband book uploaded to kdp, but there is a lot I need to do to make that happen, and it's not all easily understood.
Since I can't sleep and I'm the only one up I thought I'd come visit especially since I have a lot of notice already and I don't want to miss the older ones.
A bit later this morning I'm doing a new window job. I'm going about eleven after the temps warm up a little as I'll be outside. Later this afternoon I go in to cashier.
I'm hoping to sign my husband up with a email service. Then I need to figure out how to get a short story to be sent out to anyone that gives their email. I have instructions to follow so I'm hoping I can make that happen.

It's a pretty sunrise. Sunrise hasn't happened where I live yet but I can't see it from my house anyway. There are too many trees in the way... Both on our property and on the property of the neighbors behind us.
I hope you have a wonderful day.

Thank you. The trees might be the main reason I don't see it here too as there's a large tree near there but right now it's without it's leaves. And when I was sleeping later I would miss it I'm sure.

@MarshaMusselman You're welcome.
Oh, yeah, the sun doesn't wait for us to finish our beauty sleep before it rises.

I am usually still awake and see the sunrise before I go to sleep. What's your story about?

@celticeagle I went there briefly recently. I was there before joining bubblews. There are others here that were there too.

It's not my story but one my husband wrote years ago when we were in a non-paying site called writing. Com. He wrote a story for a horror prompt.
I didn't end up getting the email service for him yet, so we're not sending the story or to anyone at this time.

I like your sunrise photo. I put book on Amazon using KDP. It wasn't too hard, they also have pretty good chat available to help.

@MarshaMusselman It was psychological terror and it was published in the spring.

@snowy22315 huh, that's similar to what my husband wrote. We hope to upload it this week.

Oh how pretty! Very cool with the tree branch silhouette too! I have not been able to sleep well in years - but, I'm always up early no matter what. Have a good day with your work and hope the things you get going for your husband go smoothly.

@MarshaMusselman All the front of our house face East, I see less sunsets. I have to go out in the garden to enjoy the sunsets.

Very nice, Anna.
I typically see a lot more sunsets because the windows at work face the west. But once I'm done there I'll want to make sure I see more sunrises.

I didn't get much of that done. It's hard to figure out. I decided to wait until I have more time after I retire.

Just gorgeous thanks Marsha.
Good luck with your book job.
Happy Thanksgiving week.
Is it a nuisance dealing with the KDP?

That sunrise is so pretty. I never see the sunrise since I'm not an early bird.
Hope your day goes well and that all getting your husbands book published goes smoothly.
