I think that song “Breaking up is hard to do” should officially be re-written and re-titled to “Waking up is hard to do”, ’cause boy is it! I don’t know why, but for the past few months I have had such a hard time making myself stop the snooze button marathon and actually get out of bed.

It might be because (as I’ve recently realized) I really enjoy the feeling and process of falling asleep. The floaty feeling, knowing that you can totally relax and forget your worries as you drift off tto dreamland. The soft blankets, the squishy pillow that by now is perfectly molded to your face.

Ahhh. It’s wonderful.

And then…beep, beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep…Ew. That’s an awful noise. Yet, I find myself subjecting my ears to that noise about 10 times before I finally give it the official “shut up” and get out from my cocoon of peace and rest.

What to do? It also probably doesn’t help that I go in to work whenever I get there and just have to put in 8 hours a day. I make my own schedule. No accountability as far as time of arrival. And I push the time envelope every day.

I remember being younger and feeling sad for no reason when I woke up. That happens every once in a while now, but much less often. I’ve just never been a morning person. Well, once I’m up I’m pleasant, it’s just the “up” part that’s the problem.

I think I just need a wake up call service. Cause if I wake up to a phone call, I’m up no problem. Maybe I should look into living in a hotel? kidding.
