be an early bird

8:30 am

7:30 am.

I’m starting to naturally wake up earlier. I think it’s almost time to deem this goal “accomplished.”

I woke up at 10:15 today and it made me a little sad. I have to work at 11 and I like to have a lot of extra time before work. But it makes sense though, because Billy and I stayed up late watching movies together (very good anniversary plans if you have no money).

Lately, I’ve been waking up somewhere around 8 or 9 every morning which is pretty darn good for me, but I’m still going to work on getting up earlier than that.

I managed to get up and around at 8 this morning, which is surprising since I couldn’t fall asleep at all and finally got to sleep around 5:00. So I went to bed at 5, woke up at 8 and then worked an 11.5 hour shift. Ahhh, superwoman! lol

Obviously I’m getting better at this.

I woke up at 8 today and tried really hard to not fall back asleep, even though my boyfriend insisted on me staying in bed for a lot longer. So I lounged and watched TV while he slept, and astonishingly, I stayed awake and can honestly say I woke up at 8 am this morning.

Progress. Woo!

I woke up at 9:45 this morning. Eh.

Tomorrow I’ll try for nine.

I woke up at seven, but it didn’t last long. I fell back asleep and then woke up at nine, which really isn’t bad compared to some other days this summer, but I’m going to keep working at it.

My goal for tomorrow is 7 am again. Maybe I’ll go for a walk in the morning.

Today I woke up at five to take Billy to Lawrence, which is cool, except I went back to sleep when I got home. Then I woke back up at 10:15 when my boss called and asked if I would work.

My goal for tomorrow is 7:00. Baby steps.
