Up with the sun

[crows]

Now, in spite of the fact that it does mean that, for the last many weeks, I am chronically not getting enough sleep by a long shot... there is something oddly neat about waking at dawn. Showering by the grey light of a sky that I rarely get to see overcast, before the sun gets to business and burns off the morning haze; listening to the racket of finches that fills the almost-artificial trees that line my street... I enjoy being able to have time in the mornings, surely... it's nice to walk to the coffee house and get a cup for myself and my roommate before he heads out to his even earlier work day. I can buffer my time between waking and leaving the house, as well as between leaving the house and actually arriving at my workplace... it makes me feel like I actually own some of my time, which has been a struggle periodically in recent months. For some reason, I don't feel guilty working on, or thinking about, my own projects if I woke up at 6 30 AM to do so. Now, I DO work on and think about my own projects the rest of the time, too, I just feel bad about it because there's so much other stuff hanging over my head right now.

The only other thing I can say is that I hope my body isn't too accustomed to using dawn as a metric for wakeup time, or else Alaska is going to be difficult this winter -.-
