worse than ever 10 months ago

I just got diagnosed with GERD (which explains a LOT), and the bad symptoms I have been having is making getting up in the morning even harder. The acid reflux flares up at night because of the laying down position, and so when I wake up my esophagus has burning pain and my throat is sore. It makes me tired & achy….and then I just don’t want to get up. As if I needed another excuse!

Living closer to my job means I don’t have to wake up as early, therefore it is easier….is that cheating? haha :D



I think I need one of these 2 years ago

Okay, so maybe that’s a bit crazy, but short of hiring someone to drag me out of bed, I don’t know what else would make me get up.
I know a big part of it is being able to look forward to your day, and I just don’t…



this week 2 years ago

I failed miserably. Not one day did I get up on time. Rather, I laid there for a half hour telling myself to get up, but not moving an inch…



the alarm is capable of waking me up 2 years ago

It always wakes me up…it is me who does not GET UP when I hear the alarm. I hit the “OFF” button and then roll back over to doze & contemplate actually moving. It takes about 20 minutes or so of prodding myself to actually get up & start getting ready for work before I do it. In that time I may end up falling back asleep, which really screws me over.

The hurdle I have now is sharing the bathroom. My sister leaves before me, but takes much less time to get ready, so we always want the bathroom at the same time. If I wait for her to be out, then I will not have enough time & be late. I often end up going back to sleep in this time also. I’m trying to get up before her, but then she hears me & gets up also! And that requires getting up even earlier, the idea of which is just painful to me….my point of this is that I think I’d be more inspired to jump out of bed when they alarm goes off if I knew that I could actually start getting ready & not end up sitting there anyway….
