The Horrors of Waking

I hate when I am awoken form a blissful sleep and quasi-disturbing dreams by some unknown force. "Unknown force" being a euphemism for that nasty habit we have of waking up at the same time just out of sheer habit. I stare at the ceiling for a while convincing myself that "Yes, I DO want to work today! I need to work today. Then I realize that I'm really NOT tired anymore and I am having this conversation with myself for the same reason I presumably woke up - habit. In fact, wanting to go back to sleep for another couple hours just sounds stupid now - sometimes my brain does funny things, so I get up, go to the bathroom and do my normal morning routine.  I do my morning stretches be four taking my shower, Shower = good. Soap. Shampoo. Conditioner (long hair, don't you know?). Soak. Soak some more. Somewhere in the back of my mind "time" starts to scratch. Have I been in the shower too long? Can't really check the phone since it's out of sight. Soaking feels good... that same lethargy that hit during my stretches comes back, I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome amongst other things (such as fibromialga, chronic pain, back issues, migraines) and yes I take vitamins and stuff for it but none the less I have good days and bad days with it. Med's and vitamins help, among other things but it's not a cure all. Where had that energy I had upon waking gone?  Finally I climb from the steam, dry my hair (as other long-hairs know, this isn't the most basic of tasks), finish shaving and reach for the phone.  "I need some music." is the lazy thought I have. Aha! More time to waste in the morning. :-) After all, I've wasted a LOT of time this morning with all the stalling in bed, the long soak, the goofing off looking at several albums (and listening to samples, of course!)... and I still had to get dressed, find/eat ~something~ for breakfast, and get my butt to the computer, I work from home.  That may sound like a blessing but sometimes it's a curse to, not that I am complaining cause I would not change it for the world! Just saying... I am strangely tired for feeling, well, this ~awake~. I take my med's/vitamins and head to my office room.  Waiting for my med's for my chronic fatigue to set in, wish they would hurry up, Finally started getting some decent sleep this week! It's about time, I was turning into a zombie! blargh! So that was my morning, I am so not a morning person!
